1 Now it came to pass1961 in the thirtieth7970 year,8141 in the fourth7243 month, in the fifth2568 day of the month,2320 as I589 was among8432 the captives1473 by5921 the river5104 of Chebar,3529 that the heavens8064 were opened,6605 and I saw7200 visions4759 of God.430
2 In the fifth2568 day of the month,2320 which1931 was the fifth2549 year8141 of king4428 Jehoiachin's3112 captivity,1546
3 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came expressly1961 1961 unto413 Ezekiel3168 the priest,3548 the son1121 of Buzi,941 in the land776 of the Chaldeans3778 by5921 the river5104 Chebar;3529 and the hand3027 of the LORD3068 was1961 there8033 upon5921 him.
4 And I looked,7200 and, behold,2009 a whirlwind7307 5591 came935 out of4480 the north,6828 a great1419 cloud,6051 and a fire784 enfolding itself,3947 and a brightness5051 was about5439 it, and out of the midst4480 8432 thereof as the color5869 of amber,2830 out of the midst4480 8432 of the fire.784
5 Also out of the midst4480 8432 thereof came the likeness1823 of four702 living creatures.2416 And this2088 was their appearance;4758 they2007 had the likeness1823 of a man.120
6 And every one259 had four702 faces,6440 and every one259 had four702 wings.3671
7 And their feet7272 were straight3477 feet;7272 and the sole3709 of their feet7272 was like the sole3709 of a calf's5695 foot:7272 and they sparkled5340 like the color5869 of burnished7044 brass.5178
8 And they had the hands3027 of a man120 under4480 8478 their wings3671 on5921 their four702 sides;7253 and they four702 had their faces6440 and their wings.3671
9 Their wings3671 were joined2266 one802 to413 another;269 they turned5437 not3808 when they went;1980 they went1980 every one376 straight5676 forward.6440
10 As for the likeness1823 of their faces,6440 they four702 had the face6440 of a man,120 and the face6440 of a lion,738 on413 the right side:3225 and they four702 had the face6440 of an ox7794 on the left side;4480 8040 they four702 also had the face6440 of an eagle.5404
11 Thus were their faces:6440 and their wings3671 were stretched6504 upward;4480 4605 two8147 wings of every one376 were joined2266 one to another,376 and two8147 covered3680 853 their bodies.1472
12 And they went1980 every one376 straight5676 forward:6440 whither834 8033 the spirit7307 was1961 to go,1980 they went;1980 and they turned5437 not3808 when they went.1980
13 As for the likeness1823 of the living creatures,2416 their appearance4758 was like burning1197 coals1513 of fire,784 and like the appearance4758 of lamps:3940 it1931 went up and down1980 among996 the living creatures;2416 and the fire784 was bright,5051 and out of4480 the fire784 went forth3318 lightning.1300
14 And the living creatures2416 ran7519 and returned7725 as the appearance4758 of a flash of lightning.965
15 Now as I beheld7200 the living creatures,2416 behold2009 one259 wheel212 upon the earth776 by681 the living creatures,2416 with his four702 faces.6440
16 The appearance4758 of the wheels212 and their work4639 was like unto the color5869 of a beryl:8658 and they four702 had one259 likeness:1823 and their appearance4758 and their work4639 was as834 it were1961 a wheel212 in the middle8432 of a wheel.212
17 When they went,1980 they went1980 upon5921 their four702 sides:7253 and they turned5437 not3808 when they went.1980
18 As for their rings,1354 they were so high1363 that they were dreadful;3374 and their rings1354 were full4392 of eyes5869 round about5439 them four.702
19 And when the living creatures2416 went,1980 the wheels212 went1980 by681 them: and when the living creatures2416 were lifted up5375 from4480 5921 the earth,776 the wheels212 were lifted up.5375
20 Whithersoever5921 834 8033 the spirit7307 was1961 to go,1980 they went,1980 thither8033 was their spirit7307 to go;1980 and the wheels212 were lifted up5375 over against5980 them: for3588 the spirit7307 of the living creature2416 was in the wheels.212
21 When those went,1980 these went;1980 and when those stood,5975 these stood;5975 and when those were lifted up5375 from4480 5921 the earth,776 the wheels212 were lifted up5375 over against5980 them: for3588 the spirit7307 of the living creature2416 was in the wheels.212
22 And the likeness1823 of the firmament7549 upon5921 the heads7218 of the living creature2416 was as the color5869 of the terrible3372 crystal,7140 stretched forth5186 over5921 their heads7218 above.4480 4605
23 And under8478 the firmament7549 were their wings3671 straight,3477 the one802 toward413 the other:269 every one376 had two,8147 which covered3680 on this side,2007 and every one376 had two,8147 which covered3680 on that side,2007 853 their bodies.1472
24 And when they went,1980 I heard8085 853 the noise6963 of their wings,3671 like the noise6963 of great7227 waters,4325 as the voice6963 of the Almighty,7706 the voice6963 of speech,1999 as the noise6963 of a host:4264 when they stood,5975 they let down7503 their wings.3671
25 And there was1961 a voice6963 from4480 5921 the firmament7549 that834 was over5921 their heads,7218 when they stood,5975 and had let down7503 their wings.3671
26 And above4480 4605 the firmament7549 that834 was over5921 their heads7218 was the likeness1823 of a throne,3678 as the appearance4758 of a sapphire5601 stone:68 and upon5921 the likeness1823 of the throne3678 was the likeness1823 as the appearance4758 of a man120 above4480 4605 upon5921 it.
27 And I saw7200 as the color5869 of amber,2830 as the appearance4758 of fire784 round about5439 within1004 it, from the appearance4480 4758 of his loins4975 even upward,4605 and from the appearance4480 4758 of his loins4975 even downward,4295 I saw7200 as it were the appearance4758 of fire,784 and it had brightness5051 round about.5439
28 As the appearance4758 of the bow7198 that834 is1961 in the cloud6051 in the day3117 of rain,1653 so3651 was the appearance4758 of the brightness5051 round about.5439 This1931 was the appearance4758 of the likeness1823 of the glory3519 of the LORD.3068 And when I saw7200 it, I fell5307 upon5921 my face,6440 and I heard8085 a voice6963 of one that spoke.1696
1 And he said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 stand5975 upon5921 thy feet,7272 and I will speak1696 unto thee.
2 And the spirit7307 entered935 into me when834 he spoke1696 unto413 me, and set5975 me upon5921 my feet,7272 that I heard8085 853 him that spoke1696 unto413 me.
3 And he said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 I589 send7971 thee853 to413 the children1121 of Israel,3478 to413 a rebellious4775 nation1471 that834 hath rebelled4775 against me: they1992 and their fathers1 have transgressed6586 against me, even unto5704 this2088 very6106 day.3117
4 For they are impudent7186 6440 children1121 and stiffhearted.2389 3820 I589 do send7971 thee unto413 them; and thou shalt say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD.3069
5 And they,1992 whether518 they will hear,8085 or whether518 they will forbear,2308 (for3588 they1992 are a rebellious4805 house,)1004 yet shall know3045 that3588 there hath been1961 a prophet5030 among8432 them.
6 And thou,859 son1121 of man,120 be not afraid3372 408 of4480 them, neither408 be afraid3372 of their words,4480 1697 though3588 briers5621 and thorns5544 be with854 thee, and thou859 dost dwell3427 among413 scorpions:6137 be not afraid3372 408 of their words,4480 1697 nor408 be dismayed2865 at their looks,4480 6440 though3588 they1992 be a rebellious4805 house.1004
7 And thou shalt speak1696 853 my words1697 unto413 them, whether518 they will hear,8085 or whether518 they will forbear:2308 for3588 they1992 are most rebellious.4805
8 But thou,859 son1121 of man,120 hear8085 853 what834 I589 say1696 unto413 thee; Be1961 not408 thou rebellious4805 like that rebellious4805 house:1004 open6475 thy mouth,6310 and eat398 853 that834 I589 give5414 413 thee.
9 And when I looked,7200 behold,2009 a hand3027 was sent7971 unto413 me; and, lo,2009 a roll4039 of a book5612 was therein;
10 And he spread6566 it before6440 me; and it1931 was written3789 within6440 and without:268 and there was written3789 therein413 lamentations,7015 and mourning,1899 and woe.1958
1 Moreover he said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 eat398 853 that834 thou findest;4672 eat398 this2063 853 roll,4039 and go1980 speak1696 unto413 the house1004 of Israel.3478
2 So I opened6605 853 my mouth,6310 and he caused me to eat398 853 that2063 roll.4039
3 And he said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 cause thy belly990 to eat,398 and fill4390 thy bowels4578 with854 this2063 roll4039 that834 I589 give5414 413 thee. Then did I eat398 it; and it was1961 in my mouth6310 as honey1706 for sweetness.4966
4 And he said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 go,1980 get935 thee unto413 the house1004 of Israel,3478 and speak1696 with my words1697 unto413 them.
5 For3588 thou859 art not3808 sent7971 to413 a people5971 of a strange6012 speech8193 and of a hard3515 language,3956 but to413 the house1004 of Israel;3478
6 Not3808 to413 many7227 people5971 of a strange6012 speech8193 and of a hard3515 language,3956 whose834 words1697 thou canst not3808 understand.8085 Surely,518 3808 had I sent7971 thee to413 them, they1992 would have hearkened8085 unto413 thee.
7 But the house1004 of Israel3478 will14 not3808 hearken8085 unto413 thee; for3588 they will14 not369 hearken8085 unto413 me: for3588 all3605 the house1004 of Israel3478 are impudent2389 4696 and hardhearted.7186 3820
8 Behold,2009 I have made5414 853 thy face6440 strong2389 against5980 their faces,6440 and853 thy forehead4696 strong2389 against5980 their foreheads.4696
9 As an adamant8068 harder2389 than flint4480 6864 have I made5414 thy forehead:4696 fear3372 them not,3808 neither3808 be dismayed2865 at their looks,4480 6440 though3588 they1992 be a rebellious4805 house.1004
10 Moreover he said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 853 all3605 my words1697 that834 I shall speak1696 unto413 thee receive3947 in thine heart,3824 and hear8085 with thine ears.241
11 And go,1980 get935 thee to413 them of the captivity,1473 unto413 the children1121 of thy people,5971 and speak1696 unto413 them, and tell559 413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 whether518 they will hear,8085 or whether518 they will forbear.2308
12 Then the spirit7307 took me up,5375 and I heard8085 behind310 me a voice6963 of a great1419 rushing,7494 saying, Blessed1288 be the glory3519 of the LORD3068 from his place.4480 4725
13 I heard also the noise6963 of the wings3671 of the living creatures2416 that touched5401 one802 another,269 and the noise6963 of the wheels212 over against5980 them, and a noise6963 of a great1419 rushing.7494
14 So the spirit7307 lifted me up,5375 and took me away,3947 and I went1980 in bitterness,4751 in the heat2534 of my spirit;7307 but the hand3027 of the LORD3068 was strong2389 upon5921 me.
15 Then I came935 to413 them of the captivity1473 at Tel-abib,8512 that dwelt3427 by413 the river5104 of Chebar,3529 and I sat3427 where8033 they1992 sat,3427 and remained3427 there8033 astonished8074 among8432 them seven7651 days.3117
16 And it came to pass1961 at the end4480 7097 of seven7651 days,3117 that the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
17 Son1121 of man,120 I have made5414 thee a watchman6822 unto the house1004 of Israel:3478 therefore hear8085 the word1697 at my mouth,4480 6310 and give them warning2094 853 from4480 me.
18 When I say559 unto the wicked,7563 Thou shalt surely die;4191 4191 and thou givest him not warning,2094 3808 nor3808 speakest1696 to warn2094 the wicked7563 from his wicked7563 way,4480 1870 to save his life;2421 the same1931 wicked7563 man shall die4191 in his iniquity;5771 but his blood1818 will I require1245 at thine hand.4480 3027
19 Yet if3588 thou859 warn2094 the wicked,7563 and he turn7725 not3808 from his wickedness,4480 7562 nor from his wicked7563 way,4480 1870 he1931 shall die4191 in his iniquity;5771 but thou859 hast delivered5337 853 thy soul.5315
20 Again, When a righteous6662 man doth turn7725 from his righteousness,4480 6664 and commit6213 iniquity,5766 and I lay5414 a stumblingblock4383 before6440 him, he1931 shall die:4191 because3588 thou hast not3808 given him warning,2094 he shall die4191 in his sin,2403 and his righteousness6666 which834 he hath done6213 shall not3808 be remembered;2142 but his blood1818 will I require1245 at thine hand.4480 3027
21 Nevertheless if3588 thou859 warn2094 the righteous6662 man, that the righteous6662 sin2398 not,1115 and he1931 doth not3808 sin,2398 he shall surely live,2421 2421 because3588 he is warned;2094 also thou859 hast delivered5337 853 thy soul.5315
22 And the hand3027 of the LORD3068 was1961 there8033 upon5921 me; and he said559 unto413 me, Arise,6965 go forth3318 into413 the plain,1237 and I will there8033 talk1696 with854 thee.
23 Then I arose,6965 and went forth3318 into413 the plain:1237 and, behold,2009 the glory3519 of the LORD3068 stood5975 there,8033 as the glory3519 which834 I saw7200 by5921 the river5104 of Chebar:3529 and I fell5307 on5921 my face.6440
24 Then the spirit7307 entered935 into me, and set5975 me upon5921 my feet,7272 and spoke1696 with854 me, and said559 unto413 me, Go,935 shut thyself5462 within8432 thine house.1004
25 But thou,859 O son1121 of man,120 behold,2009 they shall put5414 bands5688 upon5921 thee, and shall bind631 thee with them, and thou shalt not3808 go out3318 among8432 them:
26 And I will make thy tongue3956 cleave1692 to413 the roof of thy mouth,2441 that thou shalt be dumb,481 and shalt not3808 be1961 to them a reprover:376 3198 for3588 they1992 are a rebellious4805 house.1004
27 But when I speak1696 with854 thee, I will open6605 853 thy mouth,6310 and thou shalt say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 He that heareth,8085 let him hear;8085 and he that forbeareth,2310 let him forbear:2308 for3588 they1992 are a rebellious4805 house.1004
1 Thou859 also, son1121 of man,120 take3947 thee a tile,3843 and lay5414 it before6440 thee, and portray2710 upon5921 it the city,5892 even 853 Jerusalem:3389
2 And lay5414 siege4692 against5921 it, and build1129 a fort1785 against5921 it, and cast8210 a mount5550 against5921 it; set5414 the camp4264 also against5921 it, and set7760 battering rams3733 against5921 it round about.5439
3 Moreover take3947 thou859 unto thee an iron1270 pan,4227 and set5414 it for a wall7023 of iron1270 between996 thee and the city:5892 and set3559 853 thy face6440 against413 it, and it shall be1961 besieged,4692 and thou shalt lay siege6696 against5921 it. This1931 shall be a sign226 to the house1004 of Israel.3478
4 Lie7901 thou859 also upon5921 thy left8042 side,6654 and lay7760 853 the iniquity5771 of the house1004 of Israel3478 upon5921 it: according to the number4557 of the days3117 that834 thou shalt lie7901 upon5921 it thou shalt bear5375 853 their iniquity.5771
5 For I589 have laid5414 upon thee 853 the years8141 of their iniquity,5771 according to the number4557 of the days,3117 three7969 hundred3967 and ninety8673 days:3117 so shalt thou bear5375 the iniquity5771 of the house1004 of Israel.3478
6 And when thou hast accomplished3615 853 them,428 lie7901 again8145 on5921 thy right3233 side,6654 and thou shalt bear5375 853 the iniquity5771 of the house1004 of Judah3063 forty705 days:3117 I have appointed5414 thee each day for a year.3117 8141 3117 8141
7 Therefore thou shalt set3559 thy face6440 toward413 the siege4692 of Jerusalem,3389 and thine arm2220 shall be uncovered,2834 and thou shalt prophesy5012 against5921 it.
8 And, behold,2009 I will lay5414 bands5688 upon5921 thee, and thou shalt not3808 turn2015 thee from one side4480 6654 to413 another,6654 till5704 thou hast ended3615 the days3117 of thy siege.4692
9 Take3947 thou859 also unto thee wheat,2406 and barley,8184 and beans,6321 and lentils,5742 and millet,1764 and fitches,3698 and put5414 them in one259 vessel,3627 and make6213 thee bread3899 thereof, according to the number4557 of the days3117 that834 thou859 shalt lie7901 upon5921 thy side,6654 three7969 hundred3967 and ninety8673 days3117 shalt thou eat398 thereof.
10 And thy meat3978 which834 thou shalt eat398 shall be by weight,4946 twenty6242 shekels8255 a day:3117 from time4480 6256 to5704 time6256 shalt thou eat398 it.
11 Thou shalt drink8354 also water4325 by measure,4884 the sixth part8345 of a hin:1969 from time4480 6256 to5704 time6256 shalt thou drink.8354
12 And thou shalt eat398 it as barley8184 cakes,5692 and thou shalt bake5746 it1931 with dung1561 that cometh out6627 of man,120 in their sight.5869
13 And the LORD3068 said,559 Even thus3602 shall the children1121 of Israel3478 eat398 their defiled2931 853 bread3899 among the Gentiles,1471 whither834 8033 I will drive5080 them.
14 Then said559 I, Ah162 Lord136 GOD!3069 behold,2009 my soul5315 hath not3808 been polluted:2930 for from my youth4480 5271 up even till5704 now6258 have I not3808 eaten398 of that which dieth of itself,5038 or is torn in pieces;2966 neither3808 came935 there abominable6292 flesh1320 into my mouth.6310
15 Then he said559 unto413 me, Lo,7200 I have given5414 thee 853 cow's1241 dung6832 for8478 man's120 dung,1561 and thou shalt prepare6213 853 thy bread3899 therewith.5921
16 Moreover he said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 behold,2009 I will break7665 the staff4294 of bread3899 in Jerusalem:3389 and they shall eat398 bread3899 by weight,4948 and with care;1674 and they shall drink8354 water4325 by measure,4884 and with astonishment:8078
17 That4616 they may want2637 bread3899 and water,4325 and be astonished8074 one376 with another,251 and consume away4743 for their iniquity.5771
1 And thou,859 son1121 of man,120 take3947 thee a sharp2299 knife,2719 take3947 thee a barber's1532 razor,8593 and cause it to pass5674 upon5921 thine head7218 and upon5921 thy beard:2206 then take3947 thee balances3976 to weigh,4948 and divide2505 the hair.
2 Thou shalt burn1197 with fire217 a third part7992 in the midst8432 of the city,5892 when the days3117 of the siege4692 are fulfilled:4390 and thou shalt take3947 853 a third part,7992 and smite5221 about5439 it with a knife:2719 and a third part7992 thou shalt scatter2219 in the wind;7307 and I will draw out7324 a sword2719 after310 them.
3 Thou shalt also take3947 thereof4480 8033 a few4592 in number,4557 and bind6696 them in thy skirts.3671
4 Then take3947 of4480 them again,5750 and cast7993 them into413 the midst8432 of the fire,784 and burn8313 them in the fire;784 for thereof4480 shall a fire784 come forth3318 into413 all3605 the house1004 of Israel.3478
5 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 This2063 is Jerusalem:3389 I have set7760 it in the midst8432 of the nations1471 and countries776 that are round about5439 her.
6 And she hath changed4784 853 my judgments4941 into wickedness7564 more than4480 the nations,1471 and my statutes2708 more than4480 the countries776 that834 are round about5439 her: for3588 they have refused3988 my judgments4941 and my statutes,2708 they have not3808 walked1980 in them.
7 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 ye multiplied1995 more than4480 the nations1471 that834 are round about5439 you, and have not3808 walked1980 in my statutes,2708 neither3808 have kept6213 my judgments,4941 neither3808 have done6213 according to the judgments4941 of the nations1471 that834 are round about5439 you;
8 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I, even1571 I,589 am against5921 thee, and will execute6213 judgments4941 in the midst8432 of thee in the sight5869 of the nations.1471
9 And I will do6213 in thee 853 that which834 I have not3808 done,6213 and whereunto834 I will not3808 do6213 any more5750 the like,3644 because of3282 all3605 thine abominations.8441
10 Therefore3651 the fathers1 shall eat398 the sons1121 in the midst8432 of thee, and the sons1121 shall eat398 their fathers;1 and I will execute6213 judgments8201 in thee, and 853 the whole3605 remnant7611 of thee will I scatter2219 into all3605 the winds.7307
11 Wherefore,3651 as I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Surely,518 3808 because3282 thou hast defiled2930 853 my sanctuary4720 with all3605 thy detestable things,8251 and with all3605 thine abominations,8441 therefore1571 will I589 also diminish1639 thee; neither3808 shall mine eye5869 spare,2347 neither3808 will I589 have any pity.2550
12 A third part7992 of thee shall die4191 with the pestilence,1698 and with famine7458 shall they be consumed3615 in the midst8432 of thee: and a third part7992 shall fall5307 by the sword2719 round about5439 thee; and I will scatter2219 a third part7992 into all3605 the winds,7307 and I will draw out7324 a sword2719 after310 them.
13 Thus shall mine anger639 be accomplished,3615 and I will cause my fury2534 to rest5117 upon them, and I will be comforted:5162 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it in my zeal,7068 when I have accomplished3615 my fury2534 in them.
14 Moreover I will make5414 thee waste,2723 and a reproach2781 among the nations1471 that834 are round about5439 thee, in the sight5869 of all3605 that pass by.5674
15 So it shall be1961 a reproach2781 and a taunt,1422 an instruction4148 and an astonishment4923 unto the nations1471 that834 are round about5439 thee, when I shall execute6213 judgments8201 in thee in anger639 and in fury2534 and in furious2534 rebukes.8433 I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it.
16 When I shall send7971 upon them the 853 evil7451 arrows2671 of famine,7458 which834 shall be1961 for their destruction,4889 and which834 I will send7971 853 to destroy7843 you: and I will increase3254 the famine7458 upon5921 you, and will break7665 your staff4294 of bread:3899
17 So will I send7971 upon5921 you famine7458 and evil7451 beasts,2416 and they shall bereave7921 thee; and pestilence1698 and blood1818 shall pass5674 through thee; and I will bring935 the sword2719 upon5921 thee. I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it.
1 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 set7760 thy face6440 toward413 the mountains2022 of Israel,3478 and prophesy5012 against413 them,
3 And say,559 Ye mountains2022 of Israel,3478 hear8085 the word1697 of the Lord136 GOD;3069 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 to the mountains,2022 and to the hills,1389 to the rivers,650 and to the valleys;1516 Behold,2009 I, even I,589 will bring935 a sword2719 upon5921 you, and I will destroy6 your high places.1116
4 And your altars4196 shall be desolate,8074 and your images2553 shall be broken:7665 and I will cast down5307 your slain2491 men before6440 your idols.1544
5 And I will lay5414 853 the dead carcasses6297 of the children1121 of Israel3478 before6440 their idols;1544 and I will scatter2219 853 your bones6106 round about5439 your altars.4196
6 In all3605 your dwelling places4186 the cities5892 shall be laid waste,2717 and the high places1116 shall be desolate;3456 that4616 your altars4196 may be laid waste2717 and made desolate,816 and your idols1544 may be broken7665 and cease,7673 and your images2553 may be cut down,1438 and your works4639 may be abolished.4229
7 And the slain2491 shall fall5307 in the midst8432 of you, and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
8 Yet will I leave a remnant,3498 that ye may have1961 some that shall escape6412 the sword2719 among the nations,1471 when ye shall be scattered2219 through the countries.776
9 And they that escape6412 of you shall remember2142 me among the nations1471 whither834 8033 they shall be carried captives,7617 because834 I am broken7665 with854 their whorish2181 heart,3820 which834 hath departed5493 from4480 5921 me, and with854 their eyes,5869 which go a whoring2181 after310 their idols:1544 and they shall loathe6962 themselves6440 for413 the evils7451 which834 they have committed6213 in all3605 their abominations.8441
10 And they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 and that I have not3808 said1696 in vain413 2600 that I would do6213 this2063 evil7451 unto them.
11 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Smite5221 with thine hand,3709 and stamp7554 with thy foot,7272 and say,559 Alas253 for413 all3605 the evil7451 abominations8441 of the house1004 of Israel!3478 for834 they shall fall5307 by the sword,2719 by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence.1698
12 He that is far off7350 shall die4191 of the pestilence;1698 and he that is near7138 shall fall5307 by the sword;2719 and he that remaineth7604 and is besieged5341 shall die4191 by the famine:7458 thus will I accomplish3615 my fury2534 upon them.
13 Then shall ye know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when their slain2491 men shall be1961 among8432 their idols1544 round about5439 their altars,4196 upon413 every3605 high7311 hill,1389 in all3605 the tops7218 of the mountains,2022 and under8478 every3605 green7488 tree,6086 and under8478 every3605 thick5687 oak,424 the place4725 where834 8033 they did offer5414 sweet5207 savor7381 to all3605 their idols.1544
14 So will I stretch out5186 853 my hand3027 upon5921 them, and make5414 853 the land776 desolate,8077 yea, more desolate4923 than the wilderness4480 4057 toward Diblath,1689 in all3605 their habitations:4186 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
1 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Also, thou859 son1121 of man,120 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 unto the land127 of Israel;3478 An end,7093 the end7093 is come935 upon5921 the four702 corners3671 of the land.776
3 Now6258 is the end7093 come upon5921 thee, and I will send7971 mine anger639 upon thee, and will judge8199 thee according to thy ways,1870 and will recompense5414 upon5921 thee 853 all3605 thine abominations.8441
4 And mine eye5869 shall not3808 spare2347 5921 thee, neither3808 will I have pity:2550 but3588 I will recompense5414 thy ways1870 upon5921 thee, and thine abominations8441 shall be1961 in the midst8432 of thee: and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
5 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 An evil,7451 an only259 evil,7451 behold,2009 is come.935
6 An end7093 is come,935 the end7093 is come:935 it watcheth6974 for413 thee; behold,2009 it is come.935
7 The morning6843 is come935 unto413 thee, O thou that dwellest3427 in the land:776 the time6256 is come,935 the day3117 of trouble4103 is near,7138 and not3808 the sounding again1906 of the mountains.2022
8 Now6258 will I shortly4480 7138 pour out8210 my fury2534 upon5921 thee, and accomplish3615 mine anger639 upon thee: and I will judge8199 thee according to thy ways,1870 and will recompense5414 5921 thee for 853 all3605 thine abominations.8441
9 And mine eye5869 shall not3808 spare,2347 neither3808 will I have pity:2550 I will recompense5414 5921 thee according to thy ways1870 and thine abominations8441 that are1961 in the midst8432 of thee; and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 that smiteth.5221
10 Behold2009 the day,3117 behold,2009 it is come:935 the morning6843 is gone forth;3318 the rod4294 hath blossomed,6692 pride2087 hath budded.6524
11 Violence2555 is risen up6965 into a rod4294 of wickedness:7562 none3808 of4480 them shall remain, nor3808 of their multitude,4480 1995 nor3808 of any of theirs:4480 1991 neither3808 shall there be wailing5089 for them.
12 The time6256 is come,935 the day3117 draweth near:5060 let not408 the buyer7069 rejoice,8055 nor408 the seller4376 mourn:56 for3588 wrath2740 is upon413 all3605 the multitude1995 thereof.
13 For3588 the seller4376 shall not3808 return7725 to413 that which is sold,4465 although they were yet5750 alive:2416 2416 for3588 the vision2377 is touching413 the whole3605 multitude1995 thereof, which shall not3808 return;7725 neither3808 shall any376 strengthen himself2388 in the iniquity5771 of his life.2416
14 They have blown8628 the trumpet,8619 even to make all ready;3559 3605 but none369 goeth1980 to the battle:4421 for3588 my wrath2740 is upon413 all3605 the multitude1995 thereof.
15 The sword2719 is without,2351 and the pestilence1698 and the famine7458 within:4480 1004 he that834 is in the field7704 shall die4191 with the sword;2719 and he that834 is in the city,5892 famine7458 and pestilence1698 shall devour398 him.
16 But they that escape6403 of them shall escape,6412 and shall be1961 on413 the mountains2022 like doves3123 of the valleys,1516 all3605 of them mourning,1993 every one376 for his iniquity.5771
17 All3605 hands3027 shall be feeble,7503 and all3605 knees1290 shall be weak1980 as water.4325
18 They shall also gird2296 themselves with sackcloth,8242 and horror6427 shall cover3680 them; and shame955 shall be upon413 all3605 faces,6440 and baldness7144 upon all3605 their heads.7218
19 They shall cast7993 their silver3701 in the streets,2351 and their gold2091 shall be1961 removed:5079 their silver3701 and their gold2091 shall not3808 be able3201 to deliver5337 them in the day3117 of the wrath5678 of the LORD:3068 they shall not3808 satisfy7646 their souls,5315 neither3808 fill4390 their bowels:4578 because3588 it is1961 the stumblingblock4383 of their iniquity.5771
20 As for the beauty6643 of his ornament,5716 he set7760 it in majesty:1347 but they made6213 the images6754 of their abominations8441 and of their detestable things8251 therein: therefore5921 3651 have I set5414 it far5079 from them.
21 And I will give5414 it into the hands3027 of the strangers2114 for a prey,957 and to the wicked7563 of the earth776 for a spoil;7998 and they shall pollute2490 it.
22 My face6440 will I turn5437 also from4480 them, and they shall pollute2490 853 my secret6845 place: for the robbers6530 shall enter935 into it, and defile2490 it.
23 Make6213 a chain:7569 for3588 the land776 is full4390 of bloody1818 crimes,4941 and the city5892 is full4390 of violence.2555
24 Wherefore I will bring935 the worst7451 of the heathen,1471 and they shall possess3423 853 their houses:1004 I will also make the pomp1347 of the strong5794 to cease;7673 and their holy places4720 shall be defiled.2490
25 Destruction7089 cometh;935 and they shall seek1245 peace,7965 and there shall be none.369
26 Mischief1943 shall come935 upon5921 mischief,1943 and rumor8052 shall be1961 upon413 rumor;8052 then shall they seek1245 a vision2377 of the prophet;4480 5030 but the law8451 shall perish6 from the priest,4480 3548 and counsel6098 from the ancients.4480 2205
27 The king4428 shall mourn,56 and the prince5387 shall be clothed3847 with desolation,8077 and the hands3027 of the people5971 of the land776 shall be troubled:926 I will do6213 unto them after their way,4480 1870 and according to their deserts4941 will I judge8199 them; and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
1 And it came to pass1961 in the sixth8345 year,8141 in the sixth8345 month, in the fifth2568 day of the month,2320 as I589 sat3427 in mine house,1004 and the elders2205 of Judah3063 sat3427 before6440 me, that the hand3027 of the Lord136 GOD3069 fell5307 there8033 upon5921 me.
2 Then I beheld,7200 and lo2009 a likeness1823 as the appearance4758 of fire:784 from the appearance4480 4758 of his loins4975 even downward,4295 fire;784 and from his loins4480 4975 even upward,4605 as the appearance4758 of brightness,2096 as the color5869 of amber.2830
3 And he put forth7971 the form8403 of a hand,3027 and took3947 me by a lock6734 of mine head;7218 and the spirit7307 lifted me up5375 853 between996 the earth776 and the heaven,8064 and brought935 me in the visions4759 of God430 to Jerusalem,3389 to413 the door6607 of the inner6442 gate8179 that looketh6437 toward the north;6828 where834 8033 was the seat4186 of the image5566 of jealousy,7068 which provoketh to jealousy.7065
4 And, behold,2009 the glory3519 of the God430 of Israel3478 was there,8033 according to the vision4758 that834 I saw7200 in the plain.1237
5 Then said559 he unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 lift up5375 thine eyes5869 now4994 the way1870 toward the north.6828 So I lifted up5375 mine eyes5869 the way1870 toward the north,6828 and behold2009 northward4480 6828 at the gate8179 of the altar4196 this2088 image5566 of jealousy7068 in the entry.872
6 He said559 furthermore unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 seest7200 thou859 what4100 they1992 do?6213 even the great1419 abominations8441 that834 the house1004 of Israel3478 committeth6213 here,6311 that I should go far off7368 from4480 5921 my sanctuary?4720 but turn thee yet again,7725 5750 and thou shalt see7200 greater1419 abominations.8441
7 And he brought935 me to413 the door6607 of the court;2691 and when I looked,7200 behold2009 a259 hole2356 in the wall.7023
8 Then said559 he unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 dig2864 now4994 in the wall:7023 and when I had digged2864 in the wall,7023 behold2009 a259 door.6607
9 And he said559 unto413 me, Go in,935 and behold7200 853 the wicked7451 abominations8441 that834 they1992 do6213 here.6311
10 So I went in935 and saw;7200 and behold2009 every3605 form8403 of creeping things,7431 and abominable8263 beasts,929 and all3605 the idols1544 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 portrayed2707 upon5921 the wall7023 round about.5439
11 And there stood5975 before6440 them seventy7657 men376 of the ancients4480 2205 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 and in the midst8432 of them stood5975 Jaazaniah2970 the son1121 of Shaphan,8227 with every man376 his censer4730 in his hand;3027 and a thick6282 cloud6051 of incense7004 went up.5927
12 Then said559 he unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 hast thou seen7200 what834 the ancients2205 of the house1004 of Israel3478 do6213 in the dark,2822 every man376 in the chambers2315 of his imagery?4906 for3588 they say,559 The LORD3068 seeth7200 us not;369 the LORD3068 hath forsaken5800 853 the earth.776
13 He said559 also unto413 me, Turn thee yet again,7725 5750 and thou shalt see7200 greater1419 abominations8441 that834 they1992 do.6213
14 Then he brought935 me to413 the door6607 of the gate8179 of the LORD's3068 house1004 which834 was toward413 the north;6828 and, behold,2009 there8033 sat3427 women802 weeping1058 for854 Tammuz.8542
15 Then said559 he unto413 me, Hast thou seen7200 this, O son1121 of man?120 turn thee yet again,7725 5750 and thou shalt see7200 greater1419 abominations8441 than these.4480 428
16 And he brought935 me into413 the inner6442 court2691 of the LORD's3068 house,1004 and, behold,2009 at the door6607 of the temple1964 of the LORD,3068 between996 the porch197 and the altar,4196 were about five2568 and twenty6242 men,376 with their backs268 toward413 the temple1964 of the LORD,3068 and their faces6440 toward the east;6924 and they1992 worshiped7812 the sun8121 toward the east.6924
17 Then he said559 unto413 me, Hast thou seen7200 this, O son1121 of man?120 Is it a light thing7043 to the house1004 of Judah3063 that they commit4480 6213 853 the abominations8441 which834 they commit6213 here?6311 for3588 they have filled4390 853 the land776 with violence,2555 and have returned7725 to provoke me to anger:3707 and, lo,2009 they put7971 853 the branch2156 to413 their nose.639
18 Therefore will I589 also1571 deal6213 in fury:2534 mine eye5869 shall not3808 spare,2347 neither3808 will I have pity:2550 and though they cry7121 in mine ears241 with a loud1419 voice,6963 yet will I not3808 hear8085 them.
1 He cried7121 also in mine ears241 with a loud1419 voice,6963 saying,559 Cause them that have charge6486 over the city5892 to draw near,7126 even every man376 with his destroying4892 weapon3627 in his hand.3027
2 And, behold,2009 six8337 men376 came935 from the way4480 1870 of the higher5945 gate,8179 which834 lieth6437 toward the north,6828 and every man376 a slaughter4660 weapon3627 in his hand;3027 and one259 man376 among8432 them was clothed3847 with linen,906 with a writer's5608 inkhorn7083 by his side:4975 and they went in,935 and stood5975 beside681 the brazen5178 altar.4196
3 And the glory3519 of the God430 of Israel3478 was gone up5927 from4480 5921 the cherub,3742 whereupon834 5921 he was,1961 to413 the threshold4670 of the house.1004 And he called7121 to413 the man376 clothed3847 with linen,906 which834 had the writer's5608 inkhorn7083 by his side;4975
4 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 him, Go through5674 the midst8432 of the city,5892 through the midst8432 of Jerusalem,3389 and set8427 a mark8420 upon5921 the foreheads4696 of the men376 that sigh584 and that cry602 for5921 all3605 the abominations8441 that be done6213 in the midst8432 thereof.
5 And to the others428 he said559 in mine hearing,241 Go5674 ye after310 him through the city,5892 and smite:5221 let not408 your eye5869 spare,2347 neither408 have ye pity:2550
6 Slay2026 utterly4889 old2205 and young,970 both maids,1330 and little children,2945 and women:802 but come not near5066 408 5921 any3605 man376 upon5921 whom834 is the mark;8420 and begin2490 at my sanctuary.4480 4720 Then they began2490 at the ancient2205 men376 which834 were before6440 the house.1004
7 And he said559 unto413 them, Defile2930 853 the house,1004 and fill4390 853 the courts2691 with the slain:2491 go ye forth.3318 And they went forth,3318 and slew5221 in the city.5892
8 And it came to pass,1961 while they were slaying5221 them, and I589 was left,7604 that I fell5307 upon5921 my face,6440 and cried,2199 and said,559 Ah162 Lord136 GOD!3069 wilt thou859 destroy7843 853 all3605 the residue7611 of Israel3478 in thy pouring out8210 853 of thy fury2534 upon5921 Jerusalem?3389
9 Then said559 he unto413 me, The iniquity5771 of the house1004 of Israel3478 and Judah3063 is exceeding3966 3966 great,1419 and the land776 is full4390 of blood,1818 and the city5892 full4390 of perverseness:4297 for3588 they say,559 The LORD3068 hath forsaken5800 853 the earth,776 and the LORD3068 seeth7200 not.369
10 And as for me589 also,1571 mine eye5869 shall not3808 spare,2347 neither3808 will I have pity,2550 but I will recompense5414 their way1870 upon their head.7218
11 And, behold,2009 the man376 clothed3847 with linen,906 which834 had the inkhorn7083 by his side,4975 reported7725 the matter,1697 saying,559 I have done6213 as3605 834 thou hast commanded6680 me.
1 Then I looked,7200 and, behold,2009 in413 the firmament7549 that834 was above5921 the head7218 of the cherubims3742 there appeared7200 over5921 them as it were a sapphire5601 stone,68 as the appearance4758 of the likeness1823 of a throne.3678
2 And he spoke559 unto413 the man376 clothed3847 with linen,906 and said,559 Go in935 413 between996 the wheels,1534 even under8478 the cherub,3742 and fill4390 thine hand2651 with coals1513 of fire784 from between4480 996 the cherubims,3742 and scatter2236 them over5921 the city.5892 And he went935 in in my sight.5869
3 Now the cherubims3742 stood5975 on the right side4480 3225 of the house,1004 when the man376 went in;935 and the cloud6051 filled4390 the inner6442 853 court.2691
4 Then the glory3519 of the LORD3068 went up7311 from4480 5921 the cherub,3742 and stood over5921 the threshold4670 of the house;1004 and the house1004 was filled4390 with854 the cloud,6051 and the court2691 was full4390 of854 the brightness5051 of the LORD's3068 glory.3519
5 And the sound6963 of the cherubims'3742 wings3671 was heard8085 even to5704 the outer2435 court,2691 as the voice6963 of the Almighty7706 God410 when he speaketh.1696
6 And it came to pass,1961 that when he had commanded6680 853 the man376 clothed3847 with linen,906 saying,559 Take3947 fire784 from between4480 996 the wheels,1534 from between4480 996 the cherubims;3742 then he went in,935 and stood5975 beside681 the wheels.212
7 And one cherub3742 stretched forth7971 853 his hand3027 from between4480 996 the cherubims3742 unto413 the fire784 that834 was between996 the cherubims,3742 and took5375 thereof, and put5414 it into413 the hands2651 of him that was clothed3847 with linen:906 who took3947 it, and went out.3318
8 And there appeared7200 in the cherubims3742 the form8403 of a man's120 hand3027 under8478 their wings.3671
9 And when I looked,7200 behold2009 the four702 wheels212 by681 the cherubims,3742 one259 wheel212 by681 one259 cherub,3742 and another259 wheel212 by681 another259 cherub:3742 and the appearance4758 of the wheels212 was as the color5869 of a beryl8658 stone.68
10 And as for their appearances,4758 they four702 had one259 likeness,1823 as if834 a wheel212 had been1961 in the midst8432 of a wheel.212
11 When they went,1980 they went1980 upon413 their four702 sides;7253 they turned5437 not3808 as they went,1980 but3588 to the place4725 whither834 the head7218 looked6437 they followed1980 310 it; they turned5437 not3808 as they went.1980
12 And their whole3605 body,1320 and their backs,1354 and their hands,3027 and their wings,3671 and the wheels,212 were full4392 of eyes5869 round about,5439 even the wheels212 that they four702 had.
13 As for the wheels,212 it was cried7121 unto them in my hearing,241 O wheel.1534
14 And every one259 had four702 faces:6440 the first259 face6440 was the face6440 of a cherub,3742 and the second8145 face6440 was the face6440 of a man,120 and the third7992 the face6440 of a lion,738 and the fourth7243 the face6440 of an eagle.5404
15 And the cherubims3742 were lifted up.7426 This1931 is the living creature2416 that834 I saw7200 by the river5104 of Chebar.3529
16 And when the cherubims3742 went,1980 the wheels212 went1980 by681 them: and when the cherubims3742 lifted up5375 853 their wings3671 to mount up7311 from4480 5921 the earth,776 the same1992 wheels212 also1571 turned5437 not3808 from beside4480 681 them.
17 When they stood,5975 these stood;5975 and when they were lifted up,7311 these lifted up7426 themselves also: for3588 the spirit7307 of the living creature2416 was in them.
18 Then the glory3519 of the LORD3068 departed3318 from off4480 5921 the threshold4670 of the house,1004 and stood5975 over5921 the cherubims.3742
19 And the cherubims3742 lifted up5375 853 their wings,3671 and mounted up7426 from4480 the earth776 in my sight:5869 when they went out,3318 the wheels212 also were beside5980 them, and every one stood5975 at the door6607 of the east6931 gate8179 of the LORD's3068 house;1004 and the glory3519 of the God430 of Israel3478 was over5921 them above.4480 4605
20 This1931 is the living creature2416 that834 I saw7200 under8478 the God430 of Israel3478 by the river5104 of Chebar;3529 and I knew3045 that3588 they1992 were the cherubims.3742
21 Every one259 had four faces apiece,702 702 6440 and every one259 four702 wings;3671 and the likeness1823 of the hands3027 of a man120 was under8478 their wings.3671
22 And the likeness1823 of their faces6440 was the same1992 faces6440 which834 I saw7200 by5921 the river5104 of Chebar,3529 their appearances4758 and themselves: they went1980 every one376 straight forward.413 5676 6440
1 Moreover the spirit7307 lifted me up,5375 853 and brought935 me unto413 the east6931 gate8179 of the LORD's3068 house,1004 which looketh6437 eastward:6921 and behold2009 at the door6607 of the gate8179 five2568 and twenty6242 men;376 among8432 whom I saw7200 853 Jaazaniah2970 the son1121 of Azur,5809 and Pelatiah6410 the son1121 of Benaiah,1141 princes8269 of the people.5971
2 Then said559 he unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 these428 are the men376 that devise2803 mischief,205 and give3289 wicked7451 counsel6098 in this2063 city:5892
3 Which say,559 It is not3808 near;7138 let us build1129 houses:1004 this1931 city is the caldron,5518 and we587 be the flesh.1320
4 Therefore3651 prophesy5012 against5921 them, prophesy,5012 O son1121 of man.120
5 And the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 fell5307 upon5921 me, and said559 unto413 me, Speak;559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Thus3651 have ye said,559 O house1004 of Israel:3478 for I589 know3045 the things that come4609 into your mind,7307 every one of them.
6 Ye have multiplied7235 your slain2491 in this2063 city,5892 and ye have filled4390 the streets2351 thereof with the slain.2491
7 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Your slain2491 whom834 ye have laid7760 in the midst8432 of it, they1992 are the flesh,1320 and this1931 city is the caldron:5518 but I will bring you forth3318 853 out of the midst4480 8432 of it.
8 Ye have feared3372 the sword;2719 and I will bring935 a sword2719 upon5921 you, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
9 And I will bring3318 you out of the midst4480 8432 thereof, and deliver5414 you into the hands3027 of strangers,2114 and will execute6213 judgments8201 among you.
10 Ye shall fall5307 by the sword;2719 I will judge8199 you in5921 the border1366 of Israel;3478 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
11 This1931 city shall not3808 be1961 your caldron,5518 neither shall ye859 be1961 the flesh1320 in the midst8432 thereof; but I will judge8199 you in413 the border1366 of Israel:3478
12 And ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD:3068 for834 ye have not3808 walked1980 in my statutes,2706 neither3808 executed6213 my judgments,4941 but have done6213 after the manners4941 of the heathen1471 that834 are round about5439 you.
13 And it came to pass,1961 when I prophesied,5012 that Pelatiah6410 the son1121 of Benaiah1141 died.4191 Then fell I down5307 upon5921 my face,6440 and cried2199 with a loud1419 voice,6963 and said,559 Ah162 Lord136 GOD!3069 wilt thou859 make6213 a full end3617 853 of the remnant7611 of Israel?3478
14 Again the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
15 Son1121 of man,120 thy brethren,251 even thy brethren,251 the men376 of thy kindred,1353 and all3605 the house1004 of Israel3478 wholly,3605 are they unto whom834 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 have said,559 Get you far7368 from4480 5921 the LORD:3068 unto us is this1931 land776 given5414 in possession.4181
16 Therefore3651 say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Although3588 I have cast them far off7368 among the heathen,1471 and although3588 I have scattered6327 them among the countries,776 yet will I be1961 to them as a little4592 sanctuary4720 in the countries776 where834 8033 they shall come.935
17 Therefore3651 say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will even gather6908 you from4480 the people,5971 and assemble622 you out of4480 the countries776 where834 ye have been scattered,6327 and I will give5414 you 853 the land127 of Israel.3478
18 And they shall come935 thither,8033 and they shall take away5493 853 all3605 the detestable things8251 thereof and all3605 the abominations8441 thereof from4480 thence.
19 And I will give5414 them one259 heart,3820 and I will put5414 a new2319 spirit7307 within7130 you; and I will take5493 the stony68 heart3820 out of their flesh,4480 1320 and will give5414 them a heart3820 of flesh:1320
20 That4616 they may walk1980 in my statutes,2708 and keep8104 mine ordinances,4941 and do6213 them:853 and they shall be1961 my people,5971 and I589 will be1961 their God.430
21 But as for them whose heart3820 walketh1980 after413 the heart3820 of their detestable things8251 and their abominations,8441 I will recompense5414 their way1870 upon their own heads,7218 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
22 Then did the cherubims3742 lift up5375 853 their wings,3671 and the wheels212 beside5980 them; and the glory3519 of the God430 of Israel3478 was over5921 them above.4480 4605
23 And the glory3519 of the LORD3068 went up5927 from4480 5921 the midst8432 of the city,5892 and stood5975 upon5921 the mountain2022 which834 is on the east side4480 6924 of the city.5892
24 Afterwards the spirit7307 took me up,5375 and brought935 me in a vision4758 by the Spirit7307 of God430 into Chaldea,3778 to413 them of the captivity.1473 So the vision4758 that834 I had seen7200 went up5927 from4480 5921 me.
25 Then I spoke1696 unto413 them of the captivity1473 853 all3605 the things1697 that834 the LORD3068 had showed7200 me.
1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 also came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 thou859 dwellest3427 in the midst8432 of a rebellious4805 house,1004 which834 have eyes5869 to see,7200 and see7200 not;3808 they have ears241 to hear,8085 and hear8085 not:3808 for3588 they1992 are a rebellious4805 house.1004
3 Therefore, thou859 son1121 of man,120 prepare6213 thee stuff3627 for removing,1473 and remove1540 by day3119 in their sight;5869 and thou shalt remove1540 from thy place4480 4725 to413 another312 place4725 in their sight:5869 it may be194 they will consider,7200 though3588 they1992 be a rebellious4805 house.1004
4 Then shalt thou bring forth3318 thy stuff3627 by day3119 in their sight,5869 as stuff3627 for removing:1473 and thou859 shalt go forth3318 at even6153 in their sight,5869 as they that go forth4161 into captivity.1473
5 Dig2864 thou through the wall7023 in their sight,5869 and carry out3318 thereby.
6 In their sight5869 shalt thou bear5375 it upon5921 thy shoulders,3802 and carry it forth3318 in the twilight:5939 thou shalt cover3680 thy face,6440 that thou see7200 not3808 853 the ground:776 for3588 I have set5414 thee for a sign4159 unto the house1004 of Israel.3478
7 And I did6213 so3651 as834 I was commanded:6680 I brought forth3318 my stuff3627 by day,3119 as stuff3627 for captivity,1473 and in the even6153 I digged2864 through the wall7023 with mine hand;3027 I brought it forth3318 in the twilight,5939 and I bore5375 it upon5921 my shoulder3802 in their sight.5869
8 And in the morning1242 came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 unto413 me, saying,559
9 Son1121 of man,120 hath not3808 the house1004 of Israel,3478 the rebellious4805 house,1004 said559 unto413 thee, What4100 doest6213 thou?859
10 Say559 thou unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 This2088 burden4853 concerneth the prince5387 in Jerusalem,3389 and all3605 the house1004 of Israel3478 that834 are among8432 them.
11 Say,559 I589 am your sign:4159 like as834 I have done,6213 so3651 shall it be done6213 unto them: they shall remove1473 and go1980 into captivity.7628
12 And the prince5387 that834 is among8432 them shall bear5375 upon413 his shoulder3802 in the twilight,5939 and shall go forth:3318 they shall dig2864 through the wall7023 to carry out3318 thereby: he shall cover3680 his face,6440 that3282 834 he1931 see7200 not3808 853 the ground776 with his eyes.5869
13 853 My net7568 also will I spread6566 upon5921 him, and he shall be taken8610 in my snare:4686 and I will bring935 him to Babylon894 to the land776 of the Chaldeans;3778 yet shall he not3808 see7200 it, though he shall die4191 there.8033
14 And I will scatter2219 toward every3605 wind7307 all3605 that834 are about5439 him to help5828 him, and all3605 his bands;102 and I will draw out7324 the sword2719 after310 them.
15 And they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I shall scatter6327 them among the nations,1471 and disperse2219 them in the countries.776
16 But I will leave3498 a few4557 men376 of4480 them from the sword,4480 2719 from the famine,4480 7458 and from the pestilence;4480 1698 that4616 they may declare5608 853 all3605 their abominations8441 among the heathen1471 whither834 8033 they come;935 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
17 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to413 me, saying,559
18 Son1121 of man,120 eat398 thy bread3899 with quaking,7494 and drink8354 thy water4325 with trembling7269 and with carefulness;1674
19 And say559 unto413 the people5971 of the land,776 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 of the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 and of413 the land127 of Israel;3478 They shall eat398 their bread3899 with carefulness,1674 and drink8354 their water4325 with astonishment,8078 that4616 her land776 may be desolate3456 from all that is therein,4480 4393 because of the violence4480 2555 of all3605 them that dwell3427 therein.
20 And the cities5892 that are inhabited3427 shall be laid waste,2717 and the land776 shall be1961 desolate;8077 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
21 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
22 Son1121 of man,120 what4100 is that2088 proverb4912 that ye have in5921 the land127 of Israel,3478 saying,559 The days3117 are prolonged,748 and every3605 vision2377 faileth?6
23 Tell559 413 them therefore,3651 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will make this2088 proverb4912 853 to cease,7673 and they shall no3808 more5750 use it as a proverb4911 853 in Israel;3478 but3588 518 say1696 unto413 them, The days3117 are at hand,7126 and the effect1697 of every3605 vision.2377
24 For3588 there shall be1961 no3808 more5750 any3605 vain7723 vision2377 nor flattering2509 divination4738 within8432 the house1004 of Israel.3478
25 For3588 I589 am the LORD:3068 I will speak,1696 and the word1697 853 that834 I shall speak1696 shall come to pass;6213 it shall be no3808 more5750 prolonged:4900 for3588 in your days,3117 O rebellious4805 house,1004 will I say1696 the word,1697 and will perform6213 it, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
26 Again the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to413 me, saying,559
27 Son1121 of man,120 behold,2009 they of the house1004 of Israel3478 say,559 The vision2377 that834 he1931 seeth2372 is for many7227 days3117 to come, and he1931 prophesieth5012 of the times6256 that are far off.7350
28 Therefore3651 say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 There shall none3808 3605 of my words1697 be prolonged4900 any more,5750 but the word1697 which834 I have spoken1696 shall be done,6213 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
1 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 prophesy5012 against413 the prophets5030 of Israel3478 that prophesy,5012 and say559 thou unto them that prophesy5030 out of their own hearts,4480 3820 Hear8085 ye the word1697 of the LORD;3068
3 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Woe1945 unto5921 the foolish5036 prophets,5030 that834 follow1980 310 their own spirit,7307 and have seen7200 nothing!1115
4 O Israel,3478 thy prophets5030 are1961 like the foxes7776 in the deserts.2723
5 Ye have not3808 gone up5927 into the gaps,6556 neither made up1443 the hedge1447 for5921 the house1004 of Israel3478 to stand5975 in the battle4421 in the day3117 of the LORD.3068
6 They have seen2372 vanity7723 and lying3577 divination,7081 saying,559 The LORD3068 saith:5002 and the LORD3068 hath not3808 sent7971 them: and they have made others to hope3176 that they would confirm6965 the word.1697
7 Have ye not3808 seen2372 a vain7723 vision,4236 and have ye not spoken559 a lying3577 divination,4738 whereas ye say,559 The LORD3068 saith5002 it; albeit I589 have not3808 spoken?1696
8 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 ye have spoken1696 vanity,7723 and seen2372 lies,3577 therefore,3651 behold,2009 I am against413 you, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
9 And mine hand3027 shall be1961 upon413 the prophets5030 that see2372 vanity,7723 and that divine7080 lies:3577 they shall not3808 be1961 in the assembly5475 of my people,5971 neither3808 shall they be written3789 in the writing3791 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 neither3808 shall they enter935 into413 the land127 of Israel;3478 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the Lord136 GOD.3069
10 Because,3282 even because3282 they have seduced2937 853 my people,5971 saying,559 Peace;7965 and there was no369 peace;7965 and one1931 built up1129 a wall,2434 and, lo,2009 others daubed2902 it with untempered8602 mortar:
11 Say559 unto413 them which daub2902 it with untempered8602 mortar, that it shall fall:5307 there shall be1961 an overflowing7857 shower;1653 and ye,859 O great hailstones,68 417 shall fall;5307 and a stormy5591 wind7307 shall rend1234 it.
12 Lo,2009 when the wall7023 is fallen,5307 shall it not3808 be said559 unto413 you, Where346 is the daubing2915 wherewith834 ye have daubed2902 it?
13 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will even rend1234 it with a stormy5591 wind7307 in my fury;2534 and there shall be1961 an overflowing7857 shower1653 in mine anger,639 and great hailstones68 417 in my fury2534 to consume3617 it.
14 So will I break down2040 853 the wall7023 that834 ye have daubed2902 with untempered8602 mortar, and bring it down5060 to413 the ground,776 so that the foundation3247 thereof shall be discovered,1540 and it shall fall,5307 and ye shall be consumed3615 in the midst8432 thereof: and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
15 Thus will I accomplish3615 853 my wrath2534 upon the wall,7023 and upon them that have daubed2902 it with untempered8602 mortar, and will say559 unto you, The wall7023 is no369 more, neither369 they that daubed2902 it;
16 To wit, the prophets5030 of Israel3478 which prophesy5012 concerning413 Jerusalem,3389 and which see2372 visions2377 of peace7965 for her, and there is no369 peace,7965 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
17 Likewise, thou859 son1121 of man,120 set7760 thy face6440 against413 the daughters1323 of thy people,5971 which prophesy5012 out of4480 their own heart;3820 and prophesy5012 thou against5921 them,
18 And say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Woe1945 to the women that sew8609 pillows3704 to5921 all3605 armholes,679 3027 and make6213 kerchiefs4555 upon5921 the head7218 of every3605 stature6967 to hunt6679 souls!5315 Will ye hunt6679 the souls5315 of my people,5971 and will ye save the souls alive2421 5315 that come unto you?
19 And will ye pollute2490 me among413 my people5971 for handfuls8168 of barley8184 and for pieces6595 of bread,3899 to slay4191 the souls5315 that834 should not3808 die,4191 and to save the souls alive2421 5315 that834 should not3808 live,2421 by your lying3576 to my people5971 that hear8085 your lies?3577
20 Wherefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I am against413 your pillows,3704 wherewith834 ye859 there8033 hunt6679 853 the souls5315 to make them fly,6524 and I will tear7167 them from4480 5921 your arms,2220 and will let the souls go,7971 853 5315 even 853 the souls5315 that834 ye859 hunt6679 to make them fly.6524
21 853 Your kerchiefs4555 also will I tear,7167 and deliver5337 853 my people5971 out of your hand,4480 3027 and they shall be1961 no3808 more5750 in your hand3027 to be hunted;4686 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
22 Because3282 with lies8267 ye have made the heart3820 of the righteous6662 sad,3512 whom I589 have not3808 made sad;3510 and strengthened2388 the hands3027 of the wicked,7563 that he should not1115 return7725 from his wicked way,4480 1870 7451 by promising him life:2421
23 Therefore3651 ye shall see2372 no3808 more5750 vanity,7723 nor3808 divine7080 divinations:7081 for I will deliver5337 853 my people5971 out of your hand:4480 3027 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
1 Then came935 certain376 of the elders4480 2205 of Israel3478 unto413 me, and sat3427 before6440 me.
2 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
3 Son1121 of man,120 these428 men376 have set up5927 their idols1544 in5921 their heart,3820 and put5414 the stumblingblock4383 of their iniquity5771 before5227 their face:6440 should I be inquired of at all1875 1875 by them?
4 Therefore3651 speak1696 unto them, and say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Every man376 376 of the house4480 1004 of Israel3478 that834 setteth up5927 853 his idols1544 in413 his heart,3820 and putteth7760 the stumblingblock4383 of his iniquity5771 before5227 his face,6440 and cometh935 to413 the prophet;5030 I589 the LORD3068 will answer6030 him that cometh935 according to the multitude7230 of his idols;1544
5 That4616 I may take8610 853 the house1004 of Israel3478 in their own heart,3820 because834 they are all3605 estranged2114 from4480 5921 me through their idols.1544
6 Therefore3651 say559 unto413 the house1004 of Israel,3478 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Repent,7725 and turn7725 yourselves from4480 5921 your idols;1544 and turn away7725 your faces6440 from4480 5921 all3605 your abominations.8441
7 For3588 every one376 376 of the house4480 1004 of Israel,3478 or of the stranger4480 1616 that834 sojourneth1481 in Israel,3478 which separateth himself5144 from4480 310 me, and setteth up5927 his idols1544 in413 his heart,3820 and putteth7760 the stumblingblock4383 of his iniquity5771 before5227 his face,6440 and cometh935 to413 a prophet5030 to inquire1875 of him concerning me; I589 the LORD3068 will answer6030 him by myself:
8 And I will set5414 my face6440 against that1931 man,376 and will make7760 him a sign226 and a proverb,4912 and I will cut him off3772 from the midst4480 8432 of my people;5971 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
9 And if3588 the prophet5030 be deceived6601 when he hath spoken1696 a thing,1697 I589 the LORD3068 have deceived6601 853 that1931 prophet,5030 and I will stretch out5186 853 my hand3027 upon5921 him, and will destroy8045 him from the midst4480 8432 of my people5971 Israel.3478
10 And they shall bear5375 the punishment of their iniquity:5771 the punishment5771 of the prophet5030 shall be1961 even as the punishment5771 of him that seeketh1875 unto him;
11 That4616 the house1004 of Israel3478 may go no3808 more5750 astray8582 from4480 310 me, neither3808 be polluted2930 any more5750 with all3605 their transgressions;6588 but that they may be1961 my people,5971 and I589 may be1961 their God,430 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
12 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 again to413 me, saying,559
13 Son1121 of man,120 when3588 the land776 sinneth2398 against me by trespassing4603 grievously,4604 then will I stretch out5186 mine hand3027 upon5921 it, and will break7665 the staff4294 of the bread3899 thereof, and will send7971 famine7458 upon it, and will cut off3772 man120 and beast929 from4480 it:
14 Though these428 three7969 men,376 Noah,5146 Daniel,1840 and Job,347 were1961 in8432 it, they1992 should deliver5337 but their own souls5315 by their righteousness,6666 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
15 If3863 I cause noisome7451 beasts2416 to pass5674 through the land,776 and they spoil7921 it, so that it be1961 desolate,8077 that no man4480 1097 may pass through5674 because4480 6440 of the beasts:2416
16 Though these428 three7969 men376 were in8432 it, as I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 they1992 shall deliver5337 neither518 sons1121 nor518 daughters;1323 they only905 shall be delivered,5337 but the land776 shall be1961 desolate.8077
17 Or176 if I bring935 a sword2719 upon5921 that1931 land,776 and say,559 Sword,2719 go5674 through the land;776 so that I cut off3772 man120 and beast929 from4480 it:
18 Though these428 three7969 men376 were in8432 it, as I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 they shall deliver5337 neither3808 sons1121 nor daughters,1323 but3588 they1992 only905 shall be delivered themselves.5337
19 Or176 if I send7971 a pestilence1698 into413 that1931 land,776 and pour out8210 my fury2534 upon5921 it in blood,1818 to cut off3772 from4480 it man120 and beast:929
20 Though Noah,5146 Daniel,1840 and Job,347 were in8432 it, as I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 they1992 shall deliver5337 neither518 son1121 nor518 daughter;1323 they shall but deliver5337 their own souls5315 by their righteousness.6666
21 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 How much more637 when3588 I send7971 my four702 sore7451 judgments8201 upon413 Jerusalem,3389 the sword,2719 and the famine,7458 and the noisome7451 beast,2416 and the pestilence,1698 to cut off3772 from4480 it man120 and beast?929
22 Yet, behold,2009 therein shall be left3498 a remnant6413 that shall be brought forth,3318 both sons1121 and daughters:1323 behold,2009 they shall come forth3318 unto413 you, and ye shall see7200 853 their way1870 and their doings:5949 and ye shall be comforted5162 concerning5921 the evil7451 that834 I have brought935 upon5921 Jerusalem,3389 even concerning854 all3605 that834 I have brought935 upon5921 it.
23 And they shall comfort5162 you, when3588 ye see7200 853 their ways1870 and their doings:5949 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I have not3808 done6213 without cause2600 853 all3605 that834 I have done6213 in it, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
1 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 What4100 is1961 the vine1612 tree6086 more than any4480 3605 tree,6086 or than a branch2156 which834 is1961 among the trees6086 of the forest?3293
3 Shall wood6086 be taken3947 thereof4480 to do6213 any work?4399 or518 will men take3947 a pin3489 of4480 it to hang8518 any3605 vessel3627 thereon?5921
4 Behold,2009 it is cast5414 into the fire784 for fuel;402 the fire784 devoureth398 853 both8147 the ends7098 of it, and the midst8432 of it is burned.2787 Is it meet6743 for any work?4399
5 Behold,2009 when it was1961 whole,8549 it was meet6213 for no3808 work:4399 how much less637 shall it be meet6213 yet5750 for any work,4399 when3588 the fire784 hath devoured398 it, and it is burned?2787
6 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 As834 the vine1612 tree6086 among the trees6086 of the forest,3293 which834 I have given5414 to the fire784 for fuel,402 so3651 will I give5414 853 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem.3389
7 And I will set5414 853 my face6440 against them; they shall go out3318 from one fire,784 and another fire784 shall devour398 them; and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I set7760 853 my face6440 against them.
8 And I will make5414 853 the land776 desolate,8077 because3282 they have committed4603 a trespass,4604 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
1 Again the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 cause 853 Jerusalem3389 to know3045 853 her abominations,8441
3 And say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 unto Jerusalem;3389 Thy birth4351 and thy nativity4138 is of the land4480 776 of Canaan;3669 thy father1 was an Amorite,567 and thy mother517 a Hittite.2851
4 And as for thy nativity,4138 in the day3117 thou wast born3205 thy navel8270 was not3808 cut,3772 neither3808 wast thou washed7364 in water4325 to supple4935 thee; thou wast not3808 salted at all,4414 4414 nor3808 swaddled at all.2853 2853
5 None3808 eye5869 pitied2347 5921 thee, to do6213 any259 of these4480 428 unto thee, to have compassion2550 upon5921 thee; but thou wast cast out7993 in413 the open6440 field,7704 to the loathing1604 of thy person,5315 in the day3117 that thou wast born.3205
6 And when I passed5674 by5921 thee, and saw7200 thee polluted947 in thine own blood,1818 I said559 unto thee when thou wast in thy blood,1818 Live;2421 yea, I said559 unto thee when thou wast in thy blood,1818 Live.2421
7 I have caused5414 thee to multiply7233 as the bud6780 of the field,7704 and thou hast increased7235 and waxen great,1431 and thou art come935 to excellent5716 ornaments:5716 thy breasts7699 are fashioned,3559 and thine hair8181 is grown,6779 whereas thou859 wast naked5903 and bare.6181
8 Now when I passed5674 by5921 thee, and looked upon7200 thee, behold,2009 thy time6256 was the time6256 of love;1730 and I spread6566 my skirt3671 over5921 thee, and covered3680 thy nakedness:6172 yea, I swore7650 unto thee, and entered935 into a covenant1285 with854 thee, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 and thou becamest1961 mine.
9 Then washed7364 I thee with water;4325 yea, I throughly washed away7857 thy blood1818 from4480 5921 thee, and I anointed5480 thee with oil.8081
10 I clothed3847 thee also with embroidered work,7553 and shod5274 thee with badgers' skin,8476 and I girded thee about2280 with fine linen,8336 and I covered3680 thee with silk.4897
11 I decked5710 thee also with ornaments,5716 and I put5414 bracelets6781 upon5921 thy hands,3027 and a chain7242 on5921 thy neck.1627
12 And I put5414 a jewel5141 on5921 thy forehead,639 and earrings5694 in5921 thine ears,241 and a beautiful8597 crown5850 upon thine head.7218
13 Thus wast thou decked5710 with gold2091 and silver;3701 and thy raiment4403 was of fine linen,8336 and silk,4897 and embroidered work;7553 thou didst eat398 fine flour,5560 and honey,1706 and oil:8081 and thou wast exceeding beautiful,3302 3966 3966 and thou didst prosper6743 into a kingdom.4410
14 And thy renown8034 went forth3318 among the heathen1471 for thy beauty:3308 for3588 it1931 was perfect3632 through my comeliness,1926 which834 I had put7760 upon5921 thee, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
15 But thou didst trust982 in thine own beauty,3308 and playedst the harlot2181 because5921 of thy renown,8034 and pouredst out8210 853 thy fornications8457 on5921 every one3605 that passed by;5674 his it was.1961
16 And of thy garments4480 899 thou didst take,3947 and deckedst6213 thy high places1116 with divers colors,2921 and playedst the harlot2181 thereupon:5921 the like things shall not3808 come,935 neither3808 shall it be1961 so.
17 Thou hast also taken3947 thy fair8597 jewels3627 of my gold4480 2091 and of my silver,4480 3701 which834 I had given5414 thee, and madest6213 to thyself images6754 of men,2145 and didst commit whoredom2181 with them,
18 And tookest3947 thine embroidered7553 853 garments,899 and coveredst3680 them: and thou hast set5414 mine oil8081 and mine incense7004 before6440 them.
19 My meat3899 also which834 I gave5414 thee, fine flour,5560 and oil,8081 and honey,1706 wherewith I fed398 thee, thou hast even set5414 it before6440 them for a sweet5207 savor:7381 and thus it was,1961 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
20 Moreover thou hast taken3947 853 thy sons1121 and thy daughters,1323 whom834 thou hast borne3205 unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed2076 unto them to be devoured.398 Is this of4480 thy whoredoms8457 a small matter,4592
21 That thou hast slain7819 853 my children,1121 and delivered5414 them to cause them to pass through5674 the fire for them?
22 And in all3605 thine abominations8441 and thy whoredoms8457 thou hast not3808 remembered2142 853 the days3117 of thy youth,5271 when thou wast1961 naked5903 and bare,6181 and wast1961 polluted947 in thy blood.1818
23 And it came to pass1961 after310 all3605 thy wickedness,7451 (woe,188 woe188 unto thee! saith5002 the Lord136 GOD;)3069
24 That thou hast also built1129 unto thee an eminent place,1354 and hast made6213 thee a high place7413 in every3605 street.7339
25 Thou hast built1129 thy high place7413 at413 every3605 head7218 of the way,1870 and hast made 853 thy beauty3308 to be abhorred,8581 and hast opened6589 853 thy feet7272 to every one3605 that passed by,5674 and multiplied7235 853 thy whoredoms.8457
26 Thou hast also committed fornication2181 with413 the Egyptians1121 4714 thy neighbors,7934 great1432 of flesh;1320 and hast increased7235 853 thy whoredoms,8457 to provoke me to anger.3707
27 Behold,2009 therefore I have stretched out5186 my hand3027 over5921 thee, and have diminished1639 thine ordinary2706 food, and delivered5414 thee unto the will5315 of them that hate8130 thee, the daughters1323 of the Philistines,6430 which are ashamed3637 of thy lewd2154 way.4480 1870
28 Thou hast played the whore2181 also with413 the Assyrians,1121 804 because thou wast unsatiable;4480 1115 7654 yea, thou hast played the harlot2181 with them, and yet1571 couldest not3808 be satisfied.7646
29 Thou hast moreover multiplied7235 853 thy fornication8457 in413 the land776 of Canaan3667 unto Chaldea;3778 and yet1571 thou wast not3808 satisfied7646 herewith.2063
30 How4100 weak535 is thine heart,3826 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 seeing thou doest6213 853 all3605 these428 things, the work4639 of an imperious7986 whorish2181 woman;802
31 In that thou buildest1129 thine eminent place1354 in the head7218 of every3605 way,1870 and makest6213 thine high place7413 in every3605 street;7339 and hast not3808 been1961 as a harlot,2181 in that thou scornest7046 hire;868
32 But as a wife802 that committeth adultery,5003 which taketh3947 853 strangers2114 instead8478 of her husband!376
33 They give5414 gifts5078 to all3605 whores:2181 but thou859 givest5414 853 thy gifts5083 to all3605 thy lovers,157 and hirest7809 them, that they may come935 unto413 thee on every side4480 5439 for thy whoredom.8457
34 And the contrary2016 is1961 in thee from4480 other women802 in thy whoredoms,8457 whereas none3808 followeth310 thee to commit whoredoms:2181 and in that thou givest5414 a reward,868 and no3808 reward868 is given5414 unto thee, therefore thou art1961 contrary.2016
35 Wherefore,3651 O harlot,2181 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD:3068
36 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 thy filthiness5178 was poured out,8210 and thy nakedness6172 discovered1540 through thy whoredoms8457 with5921 thy lovers,157 and with5921 all3605 the idols1544 of thy abominations,8441 and by the blood1818 of thy children,1121 which834 thou didst give5414 unto them;
37 Behold,2009 therefore3651 I will gather6908 853 all3605 thy lovers,157 with5921 whom834 thou hast taken pleasure,6149 and all3605 them that834 thou hast loved,157 with5921 all3605 them that834 thou hast hated;8130 I will even gather6908 them round about4480 5439 against5921 thee, and will discover1540 thy nakedness6172 unto413 them, that they may see7200 853 all3605 thy nakedness.6172
38 And I will judge8199 thee, as women that break wedlock5003 and shed8210 blood1818 are judged;4941 and I will give5414 thee blood1818 in fury2534 and jealousy.7068
39 And I will also give5414 thee into their hand,3027 and they shall throw down2040 thine eminent place,1354 and shall break down5422 thy high places:7413 they shall strip6584 thee also of thy clothes,899 and shall take3947 thy fair8597 jewels,3627 and leave5117 thee naked5903 and bare.6181
40 They shall also bring up5927 a company6951 against5921 thee, and they shall stone7275 thee with stones,68 and thrust thee through1333 with their swords.2719
41 And they shall burn8313 thine houses1004 with fire,784 and execute6213 judgments8201 upon thee in the sight5869 of many7227 women:802 and I will cause thee to cease7673 from playing the harlot,4480 2181 and thou also1571 shalt give5414 no3808 hire868 any more.5750
42 So will I make my fury2534 toward thee to rest,5117 and my jealousy7068 shall depart5493 from4480 thee, and I will be quiet,8252 and will be no3808 more5750 angry.3707
43 Because3282 834 thou hast not3808 remembered2142 853 the days3117 of thy youth,5271 but hast fretted7264 me in all3605 these428 things; behold,1887 therefore I589 also1571 will recompense5414 thy way1870 upon thine head,7218 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD:3069 and thou shalt not3808 commit6213 853 this lewdness2154 above5921 all3605 thine abominations.8441
44 Behold,2009 every one3605 that useth proverbs4911 shall use this proverb4911 against5921 thee, saying,559 As is the mother,517 so is her daughter.1323
45 Thou859 art thy mother's517 daughter,1323 that loatheth1602 her husband376 and her children;1121 and thou859 art the sister269 of thy sisters,269 which834 loathed1602 their husbands376 and their children:1121 your mother517 was a Hittite,2851 and your father1 an Amorite.567
46 And thine elder1419 sister269 is Samaria,8111 she1931 and her daughters1323 that dwell3427 at5921 thy left hand:8040 and thy younger6996 sister,269 that dwelleth3427 at thy right hand,4480 3225 is Sodom5467 and her daughters.1323
47 Yet hast thou not3808 walked1980 after their ways,1870 nor done6213 after their abominations:8441 but, as if that were a very6985 little4592 thing, thou wast corrupted7843 more than4480 they in all3605 thy ways.1870
48 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 Sodom5467 thy sister269 hath not518 done,6213 she1931 nor her daughters,1323 as834 thou hast done,6213 thou859 and thy daughters.1323
49 Behold,2009 this2088 was1961 the iniquity5771 of thy sister269 Sodom,5467 pride,1347 fullness7653 of bread,3899 and abundance7962 of idleness8252 was1961 in her and in her daughters,1323 neither3808 did she strengthen2388 the hand3027 of the poor6041 and needy.34
50 And they were haughty,1361 and committed6213 abomination8441 before6440 me: therefore I took them away5493 853 as834 I saw7200 good.
51 Neither3808 hath Samaria8111 committed2398 half2677 of thy sins;2403 but thou hast multiplied7235 853 thine abominations8441 more than4480 they, and hast justified6663 853 thy sisters269 in all3605 thine abominations8441 which834 thou hast done.6213
52 Thou859 also,1571 which834 hast judged6419 thy sisters,269 bear5375 thine own shame3639 for thy sins2403 that834 thou hast committed more abominable8581 than4480 they: they are more righteous6663 than4480 thou: yea, be thou confounded954 859 also,1571 and bear5375 thy shame,3639 in that thou hast justified6663 thy sisters.269
53 When I shall bring again7725 853 their captivity,7622 853 the captivity7622 of Sodom5467 and her daughters,1323 and the captivity7622 of Samaria8111 and her daughters,1323 then will I bring again the captivity7622 of thy captives7622 in the midst8432 of them:
54 That4616 thou mayest bear5375 thine own shame,3639 and mayest be confounded3637 in all4480 3605 that834 thou hast done,6213 in that thou art a comfort5162 unto them.
55 When thy sisters,269 Sodom5467 and her daughters,1323 shall return7725 to their former estate,6927 and Samaria8111 and her daughters1323 shall return7725 to their former estate,6927 then thou859 and thy daughters1323 shall return7725 to your former estate.6927
56 For thy sister269 Sodom5467 was1961 not3808 mentioned8052 by thy mouth6310 in the day3117 of thy pride,1347
57 Before2962 thy wickedness7451 was discovered,1540 as at3644 the time6256 of thy reproach2781 of the daughters1323 of Syria,758 and all3605 that are round about5439 her, the daughters1323 of the Philistines,6430 which despise7590 thee round about.4480 5439
58 Thou859 hast borne5375 853 thy lewdness2154 and thine abominations,8441 saith5002 the LORD.3068
59 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will even deal6213 with854 thee as834 thou hast done,6213 which834 hast despised959 the oath423 in breaking6565 the covenant.1285
60 Nevertheless I589 will remember2142 853 my covenant1285 with854 thee with thee in the days3117 of thy youth,5271 and I will establish6965 unto thee an everlasting5769 covenant.1285
61 Then thou shalt remember2142 853 thy ways,1870 and be ashamed,3637 when thou shalt receive3947 853 thy sisters,269 thine elder1419 and thy younger:6996 and I will give5414 them unto thee for daughters,1323 but not3808 by thy covenant.4480 1285
62 And I589 will establish6965 853 my covenant1285 with854 thee; and thou shalt know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD:3068
63 That4616 thou mayest remember,2142 and be confounded,954 and never3808 open6610 thy mouth6310 any more5750 because4480 6440 of thy shame,3639 when I am pacified3722 toward thee for all3605 that834 thou hast done,6213 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
1 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 put forth2330 a riddle,2420 and speak4911 a parable4912 unto413 the house1004 of Israel;3478
3 And say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 A great1419 eagle5404 with great1419 wings,3671 long-winged,750 83 full4392 of feathers,5133 which834 had divers colors,7553 came935 unto413 Lebanon,3844 and took3947 853 the highest branch6788 of the cedar:730
4 He cropped off6998 853 the top7218 of his young twigs,3242 and carried935 it into413 a land776 of traffic;3667 he set7760 it in a city5892 of merchants.7402
5 He took3947 also of the seed4480 2233 of the land,776 and planted5414 it in a fruitful2233 field;7704 he placed3947 it by5921 great7227 waters,4325 and set7760 it as a willow tree.6851
6 And it grew,6779 and became1961 a spreading5628 vine1612 of low8217 stature,6967 whose branches1808 turned6437 toward413 him, and the roots8328 thereof were1961 under8478 him: so it became1961 a vine,1612 and brought forth6213 branches,905 and shot forth7971 sprigs.6288
7 There was1961 also another259 great1419 eagle5404 with great1419 wings3671 and many7227 feathers:5133 and, behold,2009 this2063 vine1612 did bend3719 her roots8328 toward him, and shot forth7971 her branches1808 toward5921 him, that he might water8248 it by the furrows4480 6170 of her plantation.4302
8 It1931 was planted8362 in413 a good2896 soil7704 by413 great7227 waters,4325 that it might bring forth6213 branches,6057 and that it might bear5375 fruit,6529 that it might be1961 a goodly155 vine.1612
9 Say559 thou, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Shall it prosper?6743 shall he not3808 pull up5423 853 the roots8328 thereof, and cut off7082 the fruit6529 thereof, that it wither?3001 it shall wither3001 in all3605 the leaves2965 of her spring,6780 even without3808 great1419 power2220 or many7227 people5971 to pluck it up5375 853 by the roots4480 8328 thereof.
10 Yea, behold,2009 being planted,8362 shall it prosper?6743 shall it not3808 utterly wither,3001 3001 when the east6921 wind7307 toucheth5060 it? it shall wither3001 in5921 the furrows6170 where it grew.6780
11 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
12 Say559 now4994 to the rebellious4805 house,1004 Know3045 ye not3808 what4100 these428 things mean? tell559 them, Behold,2009 the king4428 of Babylon894 is come935 to Jerusalem,3389 and hath taken3947 853 the king4428 thereof, and the princes8269 thereof, and led935 them with413 him to Babylon;894
13 And hath taken3947 of the king's4410 seed,4480 2233 and made3772 a covenant1285 with854 him, and hath taken935 an oath423 of him: he hath also taken3947 the mighty352 of the land:776
14 That the kingdom4467 might be1961 base,8217 that it might not1115 lift itself up,5375 but that by keeping8104 853 of his covenant1285 it might stand.5975
15 But he rebelled4775 against him in sending7971 his ambassadors4397 into Egypt,4714 that they might give5414 him horses5483 and much7227 people.5971 Shall he prosper?6743 shall he escape4422 that doeth6213 such428 things? or shall he break6565 the covenant,1285 and be delivered?4422
16 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 surely518 3808 in the place4725 where the king4428 dwelleth that made him king,4427 853 whose834 853 oath423 he despised,959 and whose834 853 covenant1285 he broke,6565 even with854 him in the midst8432 of Babylon894 he shall die.4191
17 Neither3808 shall Pharaoh6547 with his mighty1419 army2428 and great7227 company6951 make6213 for him in the war,4421 by casting up8210 mounts,5550 and building1129 forts,1785 to cut off3772 many7227 persons:5315
18 Seeing he despised959 the oath423 by breaking6565 the covenant,1285 when, lo,2009 he had given5414 his hand,3027 and hath done6213 all3605 these428 things, he shall not3808 escape.4422
19 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 As I589 live,2416 surely518 3808 mine oath423 that834 he hath despised,959 and my covenant1285 that834 he hath broken,6565 even it will I recompense5414 upon his own head.7218
20 And I will spread6566 my net7568 upon5921 him, and he shall be taken8610 in my snare,4686 and I will bring935 him to Babylon,894 and will plead8199 with854 him there8033 for his trespass4603 that834 he hath trespassed4603 against me.
21 And all3605 his fugitives4015 with all3605 his bands102 shall fall5307 by the sword,2719 and they that remain7604 shall be scattered6566 toward all3605 winds:7307 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it.
22 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I589 will also take3947 of the highest branch4480 6788 of the high7311 cedar,730 and will set5414 it; I will crop off6998 from the top4480 7218 of his young twigs3127 a tender one,7390 and will plant8362 it upon5921 a high1364 mountain2022 and eminent:8524
23 In the mountain2022 of the height4791 of Israel3478 will I plant8362 it: and it shall bring forth5375 boughs,6057 and bear6213 fruit,6529 and be1961 a goodly117 cedar:730 and under8478 it shall dwell7931 all3605 fowl6833 of every3605 wing;3671 in the shadow6738 of the branches1808 thereof shall they dwell.7931
24 And all3605 the trees6086 of the field7704 shall know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 have brought down8213 the high1364 tree,6086 have exalted1361 the low8217 tree,6086 have dried up3001 the green3892 tree,6086 and have made the dry3002 tree6086 to flourish:6524 I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 and have done6213 it.
1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me again, saying,559
2 What4100 mean ye, that ye859 use4911 this2088 853 proverb4912 concerning5921 the land127 of Israel,3478 saying,559 The fathers1 have eaten398 sour grapes,1155 and the children's1121 teeth8127 are set on edge?6949
3 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 ye shall not518 have1961 occasion any more5750 to use4911 this2088 proverb4912 in Israel.3478
4 Behold,2005 all3605 souls5315 are mine; as the soul5315 of the father,1 so also the soul5315 of the son1121 is mine: the soul5315 that sinneth,2398 it1931 shall die.4191
5 But if3588 a man376 be1961 just,6662 and do6213 that which is lawful4941 and right,6666
6 And hath not3808 eaten398 upon413 the mountains,2022 neither3808 hath lifted up5375 his eyes5869 to413 the idols1544 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 neither3808 hath defiled2930 his neighbor's7453 wife,802 neither3808 hath come near7126 to413 a menstruous5079 woman,802
7 And hath not3808 oppressed3238 any,376 but hath restored7725 to the debtor2326 his pledge,2258 hath spoiled1497 none3808 by violence,1500 hath given5414 his bread3899 to the hungry,7457 and hath covered3680 the naked5903 with a garment;899
8 He that hath not3808 given forth5414 upon usury,5392 neither3808 hath taken3947 any increase,8636 that hath withdrawn7725 his hand3027 from iniquity,4480 5766 hath executed6213 true571 judgment4941 between996 man376 and man,376
9 Hath walked1980 in my statutes,2708 and hath kept8104 my judgments,4941 to deal6213 truly;571 he1931 is just,6662 he shall surely live,2421 2421 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
10 If he beget3205 a son1121 that is a robber,6530 a shedder8210 of blood,1818 and that doeth6213 the like251 to any one4480 259 of these4480 428 things,
11 And that1931 doeth6213 not3808 853 any3605 of those428 duties, but3588 even1571 hath eaten398 upon413 the mountains,2022 and defiled2930 his neighbor's7453 wife,802
12 Hath oppressed3238 the poor6041 and needy,34 hath spoiled1497 by violence,1500 hath not3808 restored7725 the pledge,2258 and hath lifted up5375 his eyes5869 to413 the idols,1544 hath committed6213 abomination,8441
13 Hath given forth5414 upon usury,5392 and hath taken3947 increase:8636 shall he then live?2421 he shall not3808 live:2421 he hath done6213 853 all3605 these428 abominations;8441 he shall surely die;4191 4191 his blood1818 shall be1961 upon him.
14 Now, lo,2009 if he beget3205 a son,1121 that seeth7200 853 all3605 his father's1 sins2403 which834 he hath done,6213 and considereth,7200 and doeth6213 not3808 such like,
15 That hath not3808 eaten398 upon5921 the mountains,2022 neither3808 hath lifted up5375 his eyes5869 to413 the idols1544 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 hath not3808 defiled2930 his neighbor's7453 853 wife,802
16 Neither3808 hath oppressed3238 any,376 hath not3808 withheld2254 the pledge,2258 neither3808 hath spoiled1497 by violence,1500 but hath given5414 his bread3899 to the hungry,7457 and hath covered3680 the naked5903 with a garment,899
17 That hath taken off7725 his hand3027 from the poor,4480 6041 that hath not3808 received3947 usury5392 nor increase,8636 hath executed6213 my judgments,4941 hath walked1980 in my statutes;2708 he1931 shall not3808 die4191 for the iniquity5771 of his father,1 he shall surely live.2421 2421
18 As for his father,1 because3588 he cruelly oppressed,6231 6233 spoiled1497 his brother251 by violence,1499 and did6213 that which834 is not3808 good2896 among8432 his people,5971 lo,2009 even he shall die4191 in his iniquity.5771
19 Yet say559 ye, Why?4069 doth not3808 the son1121 bear5375 the iniquity5771 of the father?1 When the son1121 hath done6213 that which is lawful4941 and right,6666 and hath kept8104 853 all3605 my statutes,2708 and hath done6213 them, he shall surely live.2421 2421
20 The soul5315 that sinneth,2398 it1931 shall die.4191 The son1121 shall not3808 bear5375 the iniquity5771 of the father,1 neither3808 shall the father1 bear5375 the iniquity5771 of the son:1121 the righteousness6666 of the righteous6662 shall be1961 upon5921 him, and the wickedness7564 of the wicked7563 shall be1961 upon5921 him.
21 But if3588 the wicked7563 will turn7725 from all4480 3605 his sins2403 that834 he hath committed,6213 and keep8104 853 all3605 my statutes,2708 and do6213 that which is lawful4941 and right,6666 he shall surely live,2421 2421 he shall not3808 die.4191
22 All3605 his transgressions6588 that834 he hath committed,6213 they shall not3808 be mentioned2142 unto him: in his righteousness6666 that834 he hath done6213 he shall live.2421
23 Have I any pleasure at all2654 2654 that the wicked7563 should die?4194 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD:3069 and not3808 that he should return7725 from his ways,4480 1870 and live?2421
24 But when the righteous6662 turneth away7725 from his righteousness,4480 6666 and committeth6213 iniquity,5766 and doeth6213 according to all3605 the abominations8441 that834 the wicked7563 man doeth,6213 shall he live?2421 All3605 his righteousness6666 that834 he hath done6213 shall not3808 be mentioned:2142 in his trespass4604 that834 he hath trespassed,4603 and in his sin2403 that834 he hath sinned,2398 in them shall he die.4191
25 Yet ye say,559 The way1870 of the Lord136 is not equal.8505 3808 Hear8085 now,4994 O house1004 of Israel;3478 Is not3808 my way1870 equal?8505 are not3808 your ways1870 unequal?3808 8505
26 When a righteous6662 man turneth away7725 from his righteousness,4480 6666 and committeth6213 iniquity,5766 and dieth4191 in5921 them; for his iniquity5766 that834 he hath done6213 shall he die.4191
27 Again, when the wicked7563 man turneth away7725 from his wickedness4480 7564 that834 he hath committed,6213 and doeth6213 that which is lawful4941 and right,6666 he1931 shall save his soul alive.2421 853 5315
28 Because he considereth,7200 and turneth away7725 from all4480 3605 his transgressions6588 that834 he hath committed,6213 he shall surely live,2421 2421 he shall not3808 die.4191
29 Yet saith559 the house1004 of Israel,3478 The way1870 of the Lord136 is not equal.8505 3808 O house1004 of Israel,3478 are not3808 my ways1870 equal?8505 are not3808 your ways1870 unequal?3808 8505
30 Therefore3651 I will judge8199 you, O house1004 of Israel,3478 every one376 according to his ways,1870 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069 Repent,7725 and turn7725 yourselves from all4480 3605 your transgressions;6588 so iniquity5771 shall not3808 be1961 your ruin.4383
31 Cast away7993 from4480 5921 you 853 all3605 your transgressions,6588 whereby834 ye have transgressed;6586 and make6213 you a new2319 heart3820 and a new2319 spirit:7307 for why4100 will ye die,4191 O house1004 of Israel?3478
32 For3588 I have no pleasure2654 3808 in the death4194 of him that dieth,4191 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD:3069 wherefore turn7725 yourselves, and live2421 ye.
1 Moreover take thou up859 5375 a lamentation7015 for413 the princes5387 of Israel,3478
2 And say,559 What4100 is thy mother?517 A lioness:3833 she lay down7257 among996 lions,738 she nourished7235 her whelps1482 among8432 young lions.3715
3 And she brought up5927 one259 of her whelps:4480 1482 it became1961 a young lion,3715 and it learned3925 to catch2963 the prey;2964 it devoured398 men.120
4 The nations1471 also heard8085 of413 him; he was taken8610 in their pit,7845 and they brought935 him with chains2397 unto413 the land776 of Egypt.4714
5 Now when she saw7200 that3588 she had waited,3176 and her hope8615 was lost,6 then she took3947 another259 of her whelps,4480 1482 and made7760 him a young lion.3715
6 And he went up and down1980 among8432 the lions,738 he became1961 a young lion,3715 and learned3925 to catch2963 the prey,2964 and devoured398 men.120
7 And he knew3045 their desolate palaces,759 and he laid waste2717 their cities;5892 and the land776 was desolate,3456 and the fullness4393 thereof, by the noise4480 6963 of his roaring.7581
8 Then the nations1471 set5414 against5921 him on every side5439 from the provinces,4480 4082 and spread6566 their net7568 over5921 him: he was taken8610 in their pit.7845
9 And they put5414 him in ward5474 in chains,2397 and brought935 him to413 the king4428 of Babylon:894 they brought935 him into holds,4679 that4616 his voice6963 should no3808 more5750 be heard8085 upon413 the mountains2022 of Israel.3478
10 Thy mother517 is like a vine1612 in thy blood,1818 planted8362 by5921 the waters:4325 she was1961 fruitful6509 and full of branches6058 by reason of many7227 waters.4480 4325
11 And she had1961 strong5797 rods4294 for413 the scepters7626 of them that bore rule,4910 and her stature6967 was exalted1361 among5921 996 the thick branches,5688 and she appeared7200 in her height1363 with the multitude7230 of her branches.1808
12 But she was plucked up5428 in fury,2534 she was cast down7993 to the ground,776 and the east6921 wind7307 dried up3001 her fruit:6529 her strong5797 rods4294 were broken6561 and withered;3001 the fire784 consumed398 them.
13 And now6258 she is planted8362 in the wilderness,4057 in a dry6723 and thirsty6772 ground.776
14 And fire784 is gone out3318 of a rod4480 4294 of her branches,905 which hath devoured398 her fruit,6529 so that she hath1961 no3808 strong5797 rod4294 to be a scepter7626 to rule.4910 This1931 is a lamentation,7015 and shall be1961 for a lamentation.7015
1 And it came to pass1961 in the seventh7637 year,8141 in the fifth2549 month, the tenth6218 day of the month,2320 that certain376 of the elders4480 2205 of Israel3478 came935 to inquire1875 853 of the LORD,3068 and sat3427 before6440 me.
2 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 unto413 me, saying,559
3 Son1121 of man,120 speak1696 853 unto the elders2205 of Israel,3478 and say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Are ye859 come935 to inquire1875 of me? As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 I will not518 be inquired1875 of by you.
4 Wilt thou judge8199 them, son1121 of man,120 wilt thou judge8199 them? cause them to know3045 853 the abominations8441 of their fathers:1
5 And say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 In the day3117 when I chose977 Israel,3478 and lifted up5375 mine hand3027 unto the seed2233 of the house1004 of Jacob,3290 and made myself known3045 unto them in the land776 of Egypt,4714 when I lifted up5375 mine hand3027 unto them, saying,559 I589 am the LORD3068 your God;430
6 In the day3117 that I lifted up5375 mine hand3027 unto them, to bring them forth3318 of the land4480 776 of Egypt4714 into413 a land776 that834 I had espied8446 for them, flowing2100 with milk2461 and honey,1706 which1931 is the glory6643 of all3605 lands:776
7 Then said559 I unto413 them, Cast ye away7993 every man376 the abominations8251 of his eyes,5869 and defile not yourselves2930 408 with the idols1544 of Egypt:4714 I589 am the LORD3068 your God.430
8 But they rebelled4784 against me, and would14 not3808 hearken8085 unto413 me: they did not3808 every man376 cast away7993 853 the abominations8251 of their eyes,5869 neither3808 did they forsake5800 the idols1544 of Egypt:4714 then I said,559 I will pour out8210 my fury2534 upon5921 them, to accomplish3615 my anger639 against them in the midst8432 of the land776 of Egypt.4714
9 But I wrought6213 for my name's sake,4616 8034 that it should not1115 be polluted2490 before5869 the heathen,1471 among8432 whom834 they1992 were, in whose834 sight5869 I made myself known3045 unto413 them, in bringing them forth3318 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt.4714
10 Wherefore I caused them to go3318 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 and brought935 them into413 the wilderness.4057
11 And I gave5414 them 853 my statutes,2708 and showed3045 them my judgments,4941 which834 if a man120 do,6213 853 he shall even live2421 in them.
12 Moreover also1571 I gave5414 them 853 my sabbaths,7676 to be1961 a sign226 between996 me and them, that they might know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 that sanctify6942 them.
13 But the house1004 of Israel3478 rebelled4784 against me in the wilderness:4057 they walked1980 not3808 in my statutes,2708 and they despised3988 my judgments,4941 which834 if a man120 do,6213 853 he shall even live2421 in them; and my sabbaths7676 they greatly3966 polluted:2490 then I said,559 I would pour out8210 my fury2534 upon5921 them in the wilderness,4057 to consume3615 them.
14 But I wrought6213 for my name's sake,4616 8034 that it should not1115 be polluted2490 before5869 the heathen,1471 in whose834 sight5869 I brought them out.3318
15 Yet also1571 I589 lifted up5375 my hand3027 unto them in the wilderness,4057 that I would not1115 bring935 them into413 the land776 which834 I had given5414 them, flowing2100 with milk2461 and honey,1706 which1931 is the glory6643 of all3605 lands;776
16 Because3282 they despised3988 my judgments,4941 and walked1980 not3808 in my statutes,2708 but polluted2490 my sabbaths:7676 for3588 their heart3820 went1980 after310 their idols.1544
17 Nevertheless mine eye5869 spared2347 5921 them from destroying4480 7843 them, neither3808 did I make6213 an end3617 of them in the wilderness.4057
18 But I said559 unto413 their children1121 in the wilderness,4057 Walk1980 ye not408 in the statutes2706 of your fathers,1 neither408 observe8104 their judgments,4941 nor408 defile yourselves2930 with their idols:1544
19 I589 am the LORD3068 your God;430 walk1980 in my statutes,2708 and keep8104 my judgments,4941 and do6213 them;
20 And hallow6942 my sabbaths;7676 and they shall be1961 a sign226 between996 me and you, that ye may know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 your God.430
21 Notwithstanding the children1121 rebelled4784 against me: they walked1980 not3808 in my statutes,2708 neither3808 kept8104 my judgments4941 to do6213 them, which834 if a man120 do,6213 853 he shall even live2421 in them; they polluted2490 853 my sabbaths:7676 then I said,559 I would pour out8210 my fury2534 upon5921 them, to accomplish3615 my anger639 against them in the wilderness.4057
22 Nevertheless I withdrew7725 853 mine hand,3027 and wrought6213 for my name's sake,4616 8034 that it should not1115 be polluted2490 in the sight5869 of the heathen,1471 in whose834 sight5869 I brought them forth.3318 853
23 I589 lifted up5375 853 mine hand3027 unto them also1571 in the wilderness,4057 that I would scatter6327 them among the heathen,1471 and disperse2219 them through the countries;776
24 Because3282 they had not3808 executed6213 my judgments,4941 but had despised3988 my statutes,2708 and had polluted2490 my sabbaths,7676 and their eyes5869 were1961 after310 their fathers'1 idols.1544
25 Wherefore I589 gave5414 them also1571 statutes2706 that were not3808 good,2896 and judgments4941 whereby they should not3808 live;2421
26 And I polluted2930 them in their own gifts,4979 in that they caused to pass through5674 the fire all3605 that openeth6363 the womb,7356 that4616 I might make them desolate,8074 to the end4616 that834 they might know3045 that834 I589 am the LORD.3068
27 Therefore,3651 son1121 of man,120 speak1696 unto413 the house1004 of Israel,3478 and say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Yet5750 in this2063 your fathers1 have blasphemed1442 me, in that they have committed4603 a trespass4604 against me.
28 For when I had brought935 them into413 the land,776 for the which834 I lifted up5375 853 mine hand3027 to give5414 it to them, then they saw7200 every3605 high7311 hill,1389 and all3605 the thick5687 trees,6086 and they offered2076 there8033 853 their sacrifices,2077 and there8033 they presented5414 the provocation3708 of their offering:7133 there8033 also they made7760 their sweet5207 savor,7381 and poured out5258 there8033 853 their drink offerings.5262
29 Then I said559 unto413 them, What4100 is the high place1116 whereunto834 8033 ye859 go?935 And the name8034 thereof is called7121 Bamah1117 unto5704 this2088 day.3117
30 Wherefore3651 say559 unto413 the house1004 of Israel,3478 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Are ye859 polluted2930 after the manner1870 of your fathers?1 and commit ye whoredom2181 859 after310 their abominations?8251
31 For when ye offer5375 your gifts,4979 when ye make your sons1121 to pass5674 through the fire,784 ye859 pollute yourselves2930 with all3605 your idols,1544 even unto5704 this day:3117 and shall I589 be inquired of1875 by you, O house1004 of Israel?3478 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 I will not518 be inquired of1875 by you.
32 And that which cometh5927 into5921 your mind7307 shall not3808 be at all,1961 1961 that834 ye859 say,559 We will be1961 as the heathen,1471 as the families4940 of the countries,776 to serve8334 wood6086 and stone.68
33 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 surely518 3808 with a mighty2389 hand,3027 and with a stretched out5186 arm,2220 and with fury2534 poured out,8210 will I rule4427 over5921 you:
34 And I will bring you out3318 853 from4480 the people,5971 and will gather6908 you out of4480 the countries776 wherein834 ye are scattered,6327 with a mighty2389 hand,3027 and with a stretched out5186 arm,2220 and with fury2534 poured out.8210
35 And I will bring935 you into413 the wilderness4057 of the people,5971 and there8033 will I plead8199 with854 you face6440 to413 face.6440
36 Like as834 I pleaded8199 with854 your fathers1 in the wilderness4057 of the land776 of Egypt,4714 so3651 will I plead8199 with854 you, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
37 And I will cause you to pass5674 under8478 the rod,7626 and I will bring935 you into the bond4562 of the covenant:1285
38 And I will purge out1305 from4480 among you the rebels,4775 and them that transgress6586 against me: I will bring them forth3318 853 out of the country4480 776 where they sojourn,4033 and they shall not3808 enter935 into413 the land127 of Israel:3478 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
39 As for you,859 O house1004 of Israel,3478 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Go1980 ye, serve5647 ye every one376 his idols,1544 and hereafter310 also, if518 ye will not369 hearken8085 unto413 me: but pollute2490 ye my holy6944 name8034 no3808 more5750 with your gifts,4979 and with your idols.1544
40 For3588 in mine holy6944 mountain,2022 in the mountain2022 of the height4791 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 there8033 shall all3605 the house1004 of Israel,3478 all3605 of them in the land,776 serve5647 me: there8033 will I accept7521 them, and there8033 will I require1875 853 your offerings,8641 and the firstfruits7225 of your oblations,4864 with all3605 your holy things.6944
41 I will accept7521 you with your sweet5207 savor,7381 when I bring you out3318 853 from4480 the people,5971 and gather6908 you out of4480 the countries776 wherein834 ye have been scattered;6327 and I will be sanctified6942 in you before5869 the heathen.1471
42 And ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I shall bring935 you into413 the land127 of Israel,3478 into413 the country776 for the which834 I lifted up5375 853 mine hand3027 to give5414 it to your fathers.1
43 And there8033 shall ye remember2142 853 your ways,1870 and all3605 your doings,5949 wherein834 ye have been defiled;2930 and ye shall loathe yourselves6962 in your own sight6440 for all3605 your evils7451 that834 ye have committed.6213
44 And ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I have wrought6213 with854 you for my name's sake,4616 8034 not3808 according to your wicked7451 ways,1870 nor according to your corrupt7843 doings,5949 O ye house1004 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
45 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
46 Son1121 of man,120 set7760 thy face6440 toward1870 the south,8486 and drop5197 thy word toward413 the south,1864 and prophesy5012 against413 the forest3293 of the south5045 field;7704
47 And say559 to the forest3293 of the south,5045 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD;3068 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I will kindle3341 a fire784 in thee, and it shall devour398 every3605 green3892 tree6086 in thee, and every3605 dry3002 tree:6086 the flaming3852 flame7957 shall not3808 be quenched,3518 and all3605 faces6440 from the south4480 5045 to the north6828 shall be burned6866 therein.
48 And all3605 flesh1320 shall see7200 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 have kindled1197 it: it shall not3808 be quenched.3518
49 Then said559 I, Ah162 Lord136 GOD!3069 they1992 say559 of me, Doth he1931 not3808 speak4911 parables?4912
1 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 set7760 thy face6440 toward413 Jerusalem,3389 and drop5197 thy word toward413 the holy places,4720 and prophesy5012 against413 the land127 of Israel,3478
3 And say559 to the land127 of Israel,3478 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I am against413 thee, and will draw forth3318 my sword2719 out of his sheath,4480 8593 and will cut off3772 from4480 thee the righteous6662 and the wicked.7563
4 Seeing then3282 that834 I will cut off3772 from4480 thee the righteous6662 and the wicked,7563 therefore3651 shall my sword2719 go forth3318 out of his sheath4480 8593 against413 all3605 flesh1320 from the south4480 5045 to the north:6828
5 That all3605 flesh1320 may know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 have drawn forth3318 my sword2719 out of his sheath:4480 8593 it shall not3808 return7725 any more.5750
6 Sigh584 therefore, thou859 son1121 of man,120 with the breaking7670 of thy loins;4975 and with bitterness4814 sigh584 before their eyes.5869
7 And it shall be,1961 when3588 they say559 unto413 thee, Wherefore5921 4100 sighest584 thou?859 that thou shalt answer,559 For413 the tidings;8052 because3588 it cometh:935 and every3605 heart3820 shall melt,4549 and all3605 hands3027 shall be feeble,7503 and every3605 spirit7307 shall faint,3543 and all3605 knees1290 shall be weak1980 as water:4325 behold,2009 it cometh,935 and shall be brought to pass,1961 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
8 Again the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
9 Son1121 of man,120 prophesy,5012 and say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;136 Say,559 A sword,2719 a sword2719 is sharpened,2300 and also1571 furbished:4803
10 It is sharpened2300 to4616 make a sore slaughter;2873 2874 it is furbished4803 that4616 it may glitter:1961 1300 should we then176 make mirth?7797 it contemneth3988 the rod7626 of my son,1121 as every3605 tree.6086
11 And he hath given5414 it to be furbished,4803 that it may be handled:8610 3709 this1931 sword2719 is sharpened,2300 and it1931 is furbished,4803 to give5414 it into the hand3027 of the slayer.2026
12 Cry2199 and howl,3213 son1121 of man:120 for3588 it1931 shall be1961 upon my people,5971 it1931 shall be upon all3605 the princes5387 of Israel:3478 terrors4048 by reason of413 the sword2719 shall be1961 upon854 my people:5971 smite5606 therefore3651 upon413 thy thigh.3409
13 Because3588 it is a trial,974 and what4100 if518 the sword contemn3988 even1571 the rod?7626 it shall be1961 no3808 more, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
14 Thou859 therefore, son1121 of man,120 prophesy,5012 and smite thine hands together,5221 3709 413 3709 and let the sword2719 be doubled3717 the third time,7992 the sword2719 of the slain:2491 it1931 is the sword2719 of the great1419 men that are slain,2491 which entereth into their privy chambers.2314
15 I have set5414 the point19 of the sword2719 against5921 all3605 their gates,8179 that4616 their heart3820 may faint,4127 and their ruins4383 be multiplied:7235 ah!253 it is made bright,6213 1300 it is wrapped up4593 for the slaughter.2874
16 Go thee one way or other,258 either on the right hand,3231 or on the left,8041 whithersoever575 thy face6440 is set.3259
17 I589 will also1571 smite5221 mine hands together,3709 413 3709 and I will cause my fury2534 to rest:5117 I589 the LORD3068 have said1696 it.
18 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me again, saying,559
19 Also, thou859 son1121 of man,120 appoint7760 thee two8147 ways,1870 that the sword2719 of the king4428 of Babylon894 may come:935 both twain8147 shall come forth3318 out of one land:4480 776 259 and choose1254 thou a place,3027 choose1254 it at the head7218 of the way1870 to the city.5892
20 Appoint7760 a way,1870 that the sword2719 may come935 to854 Rabbath7237 of the Ammonites,1121 5983 and to854 Judah3063 in Jerusalem3389 the defensed.1219
21 For3588 the king4428 of Babylon894 stood5975 at413 the parting517 of the way,1870 at the head7218 of the two8147 ways,1870 to use7080 divination:7081 he made his arrows bright,7043 2671 he consulted7592 with images,8655 he looked7200 in the liver.3516
22 At his right hand3225 was1961 the divination7081 for Jerusalem,3389 to appoint7760 captains,3733 to open6605 the mouth6310 in the slaughter,7524 to lift up7311 the voice6963 with shouting,8643 to appoint7760 battering rams3733 against5921 the gates,8179 to cast8210 a mount,5550 and to build1129 a fort.1785
23 And it shall be1961 unto them as a false7723 divination7080 in their sight,5869 to them that have sworn7650 oaths:7621 but he1931 will call to remembrance2142 the iniquity,5771 that they may be taken.8610
24 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 ye have made your iniquity5771 to be remembered,2142 in that your transgressions6588 are discovered,1540 so that in all3605 your doings5949 your sins2403 do appear;7200 because,3282 I say, that ye are come to remembrance,2142 ye shall be taken8610 with the hand.3709
25 And thou,859 profane2491 wicked7563 prince5387 of Israel,3478 whose834 day3117 is come,935 when6256 iniquity5771 shall have an end,7093
26 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Remove5493 the diadem,4701 and take off7311 the crown:5850 this2063 shall not3808 be the same:2063 exalt1361 him that is low,8217 and abase8213 him that is high.1364
27 I will7760 overturn,5754 overturn,5754 overturn,5754 it: and1571 it2063 shall be1961 no3808 more, until5704 he come935 whose834 right4941 it is; and I will give5414 it him.
28 And thou,859 son1121 of man,120 prophesy5012 and say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 concerning413 the Ammonites,1121 5983 and concerning413 their reproach;2781 even say559 thou, The sword,2719 the sword2719 is drawn:6605 for the slaughter2874 it is furbished,4803 to consume3557 because of4616 the glittering:1300
29 While they see2372 vanity7723 unto thee, while they divine7080 a lie3577 unto thee, to bring5414 thee upon413 the necks6677 of them that are slain,2491 of the wicked,7563 whose834 day3119 is come,935 when6256 their iniquity5771 shall have an end.7093
30 Shall I cause it to return7725 into413 his sheath?8593 I will judge8199 thee in the place4725 where834 thou wast created,1254 in the land776 of thy nativity.4351
31 And I will pour out8210 mine indignation2195 upon5921 thee, I will blow6315 against5921 thee in the fire784 of my wrath,5678 and deliver5414 thee into the hand3027 of brutish1197 men,376 and skillful2796 to destroy.4889
32 Thou shalt be1961 for fuel402 to the fire;784 thy blood1818 shall be1961 in the midst8432 of the land;776 thou shalt be no3808 more remembered:2142 for3588 I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it.
1 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Now, thou859 son1121 of man,120 wilt thou judge,8199 wilt thou judge8199 853 the bloody1818 city?5892 yea, thou shalt show3045 her 853 all3605 her abominations.8441
3 Then say559 thou, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD,3069 The city5892 sheddeth8210 blood1818 in the midst8432 of it, that her time6256 may come,935 and maketh6213 idols1544 against5921 herself to defile2930 herself.
4 Thou art become guilty816 in thy blood1818 that834 thou hast shed;8210 and hast defiled2930 thyself in thine idols1544 which834 thou hast made;6213 and thou hast caused thy days3117 to draw near,7126 and art come935 even unto5704 thy years:8141 therefore5921 3651 have I made5414 thee a reproach2781 unto the heathen,1471 and a mocking7048 to all3605 countries.776
5 Those that be near,7138 and those that be far7350 from4480 thee, shall mock7046 thee, which art infamous2931 8034 and much7227 vexed.4103
6 Behold,2009 the princes5387 of Israel,3478 every one376 were1961 in thee to their power2220 to4616 shed8210 blood.1818
7 In thee have they set light7043 by father1 and mother:517 in the midst8432 of thee have they dealt6213 by oppression6233 with the stranger:1616 in thee have they vexed3238 the fatherless3490 and the widow.490
8 Thou hast despised959 mine holy things,6944 and hast profaned2490 my sabbaths.7676
9 In thee are1961 men376 that carry tales7400 to4616 shed8210 blood:1818 and in thee they eat398 upon413 the mountains:2022 in the midst8432 of thee they commit6213 lewdness.2154
10 In thee have they discovered1540 their fathers'1 nakedness:6172 in thee have they humbled6031 her that was set apart5079 for pollution.2931
11 And one376 hath committed6213 abomination8441 with854 his neighbor's7453 wife;802 and another376 hath lewdly2154 defiled2930 853 his daughter-in-law;3618 and another376 in thee hath humbled6031 853 his sister,269 his father's1 daughter.1323
12 In thee have they taken3947 gifts7810 to4616 shed8210 blood;1818 thou hast taken3947 usury5392 and increase,8636 and thou hast greedily gained1214 of thy neighbors7453 by extortion,6233 and hast forgotten7911 me, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
13 Behold,2009 therefore I have smitten5221 mine hand3709 at413 thy dishonest gain1215 which834 thou hast made,6213 and at5921 thy blood1818 which834 hath been1961 in the midst8432 of thee.
14 Can thine heart3820 endure,5975 or518 can thine hands3027 be strong,2388 in the days3117 that834 I589 shall deal6213 with thee? I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it, and will do6213 it.
15 And I will scatter6327 thee among the heathen,1471 and disperse2219 thee in the countries,776 and will consume8552 thy filthiness2932 out of4480 thee.
16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance2490 in thyself in the sight5869 of the heathen,1471 and thou shalt know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
17 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
18 Son1121 of man,120 the house1004 of Israel3478 is to me become1961 dross:5509 all3605 they are brass,5178 and tin,913 and iron,1270 and lead,5777 in the midst8432 of the furnace;3564 they are1961 even the dross5509 of silver.3701
19 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 ye are all3605 become1961 dross,5509 behold,2009 therefore3651 I will gather6908 you into413 the midst8432 of Jerusalem.3389
20 As they gather6910 silver,3701 and brass,5178 and iron,1270 and lead,5777 and tin,913 into413 the midst8432 of the furnace,3564 to blow5301 the fire784 upon5921 it, to melt5413 it; so3651 will I gather6908 you in mine anger639 and in my fury,2534 and I will leave5117 you there, and melt5413 you.
21 Yea, I will gather3664 you, and blow5301 upon5921 you in the fire784 of my wrath,5678 and ye shall be melted5413 in the midst8432 thereof.
22 As silver3701 is melted2046 in the midst8432 of the furnace,3564 so3651 shall ye be melted5413 in the midst8432 thereof; and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 have poured out8210 my fury2534 upon5921 you.
23 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
24 Son1121 of man,120 say559 unto her, Thou859 art the land776 that1931 is not3808 cleansed,2891 nor3808 rained upon1656 in the day3117 of indignation.2195
25 There is a conspiracy7195 of her prophets5030 in the midst8432 thereof, like a roaring7580 lion738 ravening2963 the prey;2964 they have devoured398 souls;5315 they have taken3947 the treasure2633 and precious things;3366 they have made her many7235 widows490 in the midst8432 thereof.
26 Her priests3548 have violated2554 my law,8451 and have profaned2490 mine holy things:6944 they have put no difference914 3808 between996 the holy6944 and profane,2455 neither3808 have they showed3045 difference between996 the unclean2931 and the clean,2889 and have hid5956 their eyes5869 from my sabbaths,4480 7676 and I am profaned2490 among8432 them.
27 Her princes8269 in the midst7130 thereof are like wolves2061 ravening2963 the prey,2964 to shed8210 blood,1818 and to destroy6 souls,5315 to4616 get1214 dishonest gain.1215
28 And her prophets5030 have daubed2902 them with untempered8602 mortar, seeing2374 vanity,7723 and divining7080 lies3577 unto them, saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD,3069 when the LORD3068 hath not3808 spoken.1696
29 The people5971 of the land776 have used6231 oppression,6233 and exercised1497 robbery,1498 and have vexed3238 the poor6041 and needy:34 yea, they have oppressed6231 the stranger1616 wrongfully.3808 4941
30 And I sought1245 for a man376 among4480 them, that should make up1443 the hedge,1447 and stand5975 in the gap6556 before6440 me for1157 the land,776 that I should not1115 destroy7843 it: but I found4672 none.3808
31 Therefore have I poured out8210 mine indignation2195 upon5921 them; I have consumed3615 them with the fire784 of my wrath:5678 their own way1870 have I recompensed5414 upon their heads,7218 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 again unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 there were1961 two8147 women,802 the daughters1323 of one259 mother:517
3 And they committed whoredoms2181 in Egypt;4714 they committed whoredoms2181 in their youth:5271 there8033 were their breasts7699 pressed,4600 and there8033 they bruised6213 the teats1717 of their virginity.1331
4 And the names8034 of them were Aholah170 the elder,1419 and Aholibah172 her sister:269 and they were1961 mine, and they bore3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323 Thus were their names;8034 Samaria8111 is Aholah,170 and Jerusalem3389 Aholibah.172
5 And Aholah170 played the harlot2181 when she was8478 mine; and she doted5689 on5921 her lovers,157 on413 the Assyrians804 her neighbors,7138
6 Which were clothed3847 with blue,8504 captains6346 and rulers,5461 all3605 of them desirable2531 young men,970 horsemen6571 riding upon7392 horses.5483
7 Thus she committed5414 her whoredoms8457 with5921 them, with all3605 them that were the chosen4005 men1121 of Assyria,804 and with all3605 on whom834 she doted:5689 with all3605 their idols1544 she defiled herself.2930
8 Neither3808 left5800 she her whoredoms8457 brought from Egypt:4480 4714 for3588 in her youth5271 they lay7901 with854 her, and they1992 bruised6213 the breasts1717 of her virginity,1331 and poured8210 their whoredom8457 upon5921 her.
9 Wherefore3651 I have delivered5414 her into the hand3027 of her lovers,157 into the hand3027 of the Assyrians,1121 804 upon5921 whom834 she doted.5689
10 These1992 discovered1540 her nakedness:6172 they took3947 her sons1121 and her daughters,1323 and slew2026 her with the sword:2719 and she became1961 famous8034 among women;802 for they had executed6213 judgment8196 upon her.
11 And when her sister269 Aholibah172 saw7200 this, she was more corrupt7843 in her inordinate love5691 than4480 she, and in her whoredoms8457 more than her sister269 in her whoredoms.4480 2183
12 She doted5689 upon413 the Assyrians1121 804 her neighbors,7138 captains6346 and rulers5461 clothed3847 most gorgeously,4358 horsemen6571 riding upon7392 horses,5483 all3605 of them desirable2531 young men.970
13 Then I saw7200 that3588 she was defiled,2930 that they took both8147 one259 way,1870
14 And that she increased3254 413 her whoredoms:8457 for when she saw7200 men376 portrayed2707 upon5921 the wall,7023 the images6754 of the Chaldeans3778 portrayed2710 with vermilion,8350
15 Girded2289 with girdles232 upon their loins,4975 exceeding5628 in dyed attire2871 upon their heads,7218 all3605 of them princes7991 to look to,4758 after the manner1823 of the Babylonians1121 894 of Chaldea,3778 the land776 of their nativity:4138
16 And as soon as she saw4758 them with her eyes,5869 she doted5689 upon5921 them, and sent7971 messengers4397 unto413 them into Chaldea.3778
17 And the Babylonians1121 894 came935 to413 her into the bed4904 of love,1730 and they defiled2930 her with their whoredom,8457 and she was polluted2930 with them, and her mind5315 was alienated3363 from4480 them.
18 So she discovered1540 her whoredoms,8457 and discovered1540 853 her nakedness:6172 then my mind5315 was alienated3363 from4480 5921 her, like as834 my mind5315 was alienated5361 from4480 5921 her sister.269
19 Yet she multiplied7235 853 her whoredoms,8457 in calling to remembrance2142 853 the days3117 of her youth,5271 wherein834 she had played the harlot2181 in the land776 of Egypt.4714
20 For she doted5689 upon5921 their paramours,6370 whose834 flesh1320 is as the flesh1320 of asses,2543 and whose issue2231 is like the issue2231 of horses.5483
21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance6485 853 the lewdness2154 of thy youth,5271 in bruising6213 thy teats1717 by the Egyptians4480 4714 for4616 the paps7699 of thy youth.5271
22 Therefore,3651 O Aholibah,172 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I will raise up5782 853 thy lovers157 against5921 thee, from whom4480 853 834 thy mind5315 is alienated,5361 and I will bring935 them against5921 thee on every side;4480 5439
23 The Babylonians,1121 894 and all3605 the Chaldeans,3778 Pekod,6489 and Shoa,7772 and Koa,6970 and all3605 the Assyrians1121 804 with854 them: all3605 of them desirable2531 young men,970 captains6346 and rulers,5461 great lords7991 and renowned,7121 all3605 of them riding upon7392 horses.5483
24 And they shall come935 against5921 thee with chariots,2021 wagons,7393 and wheels,1534 and with an assembly6951 of people,5971 which shall set7760 against5921 thee buckler6793 and shield4043 and helmet6959 round about:5439 and I will set5414 judgment4941 before6440 them, and they shall judge8199 thee according to their judgments.4941
25 And I will set5414 my jealousy7068 against thee, and they shall deal6213 furiously2534 with854 thee: they shall take away5493 thy nose639 and thine ears;241 and thy remnant319 shall fall5307 by the sword:2719 they1992 shall take3947 thy sons1121 and thy daughters;1323 and thy residue319 shall be devoured398 by the fire.784
26 They shall also strip6584 thee out of854 thy clothes,899 and take away3947 thy fair8597 jewels.3627
27 Thus will I make thy lewdness2154 to cease7673 from4480 thee, and thy whoredom2184 brought from the land4480 776 of Egypt:4714 so that thou shalt not3808 lift up5375 thine eyes5869 unto413 them, nor3808 remember2142 Egypt4714 any more.5750
28 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I will deliver5414 thee into the hand3027 of them whom834 thou hatest,8130 into the hand3027 of them from whom834 thy mind5315 is alienated:5361 4480
29 And they shall deal6213 with854 thee hatefully,8135 and shall take away3947 all3605 thy labor,3018 and shall leave5800 thee naked5903 and bare:6181 and the nakedness6172 of thy whoredoms2183 shall be discovered,1540 both thy lewdness2154 and thy whoredoms.8457
30 I will do6213 these428 things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring2181 after310 the heathen,1471 and because5921 834 thou art polluted2930 with their idols.1544
31 Thou hast walked1980 in the way1870 of thy sister;269 therefore will I give5414 her cup3563 into thine hand.3027
32 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Thou shalt drink8354 of thy sister's269 cup3563 deep6013 and large:7342 thou shalt be1961 laughed to scorn6712 and had in derision;3933 it containeth3557 much.4767
33 Thou shalt be filled4390 with drunkenness7943 and sorrow,3015 with the cup3563 of astonishment8047 and desolation,8077 with the cup3563 of thy sister269 Samaria.8111
34 Thou shalt even drink8354 it and suck it out,4680 and thou shalt break1633 the shards2789 thereof, and pluck off5423 thine own breasts:7699 for3588 I589 have spoken1696 it, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
35 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 thou hast forgotten7911 me, and cast7993 me behind310 thy back,1458 therefore bear5375 thou859 also1571 thy lewdness2154 and thy whoredoms.8457
36 The LORD3068 said559 moreover unto413 me; Son1121 of man,120 wilt thou judge8199 853 Aholah170 and Aholibah?172 yea, declare5046 unto them 853 their abominations;8441
37 That3588 they have committed adultery,5003 and blood1818 is in their hands,3027 and with854 their idols1544 have they committed adultery,5003 and have also1571 caused 853 their sons,1121 whom834 they bore3205 unto me, to pass for them through5674 the fire, to devour402 them.
38 Moreover5750 this2063 they have done6213 unto me: they have defiled2930 853 my sanctuary4720 in the same1931 day,3117 and have profaned2490 my sabbaths.7676
39 For when they had slain7819 853 their children1121 to their idols,1544 then they came935 the same1931 day3117 into413 my sanctuary4720 to profane2490 it; and, lo,2009 thus3541 have they done6213 in the midst8432 of mine house.1004
40 And furthermore,637 that3588 ye have sent7971 for men376 to come935 from far,4480 4801 unto413 whom834 a messenger4397 was sent;7971 and, lo,2009 they came:935 for whom834 thou didst wash7364 thyself, paintedst3583 thy eyes,5869 and deckedst5710 thyself with ornaments,5716
41 And satest3427 upon5921 a stately3520 bed,4296 and a table7979 prepared6186 before6440 it, whereupon5921 thou hast set7760 mine incense7004 and mine oil.8081
42 And a voice6963 of a multitude1995 being at ease7961 was with her: and with413 the men376 of the common sort4480 7230 120 were brought935 Sabeans5436 from the wilderness,4480 4057 which put5414 bracelets6781 upon5921 their hands,3027 and beautiful8597 crowns5850 upon413 their heads.7218
43 Then said559 I unto her that was old1087 in adulteries,5004 Will they now6258 commit2181 whoredoms8457 with her, and she1931 with them?
44 Yet they went in935 unto413 her, as they go in935 unto413 a woman802 that playeth the harlot:2181 so3651 went they in935 unto413 Aholah170 and unto413 Aholibah,172 the lewd2154 women.802
45 And the righteous6662 men,376 they1992 shall judge8199 them after the manner4941 of adulteresses,5003 and after the manner of women4941 that shed8210 blood;1818 because3588 they2007 are adulteresses,5003 and blood1818 is in their hands.3027
46 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will bring up5927 a company6951 upon5921 them, and will give5414 them to be removed2189 and spoiled.957
47 And the company6951 shall stone7275 5921 them with stones,68 and dispatch1254 them with their swords;2719 they shall slay2026 their sons1121 and their daughters,1323 and burn up8313 their houses1004 with fire.784
48 Thus will I cause lewdness2154 to cease7673 out of4480 the land,776 that all3605 women802 may be taught3256 not3808 to do6213 after your lewdness.2154
49 And they shall recompense5414 your lewdness2154 upon5921 you, and ye shall bear5375 the sins2399 of your idols:1544 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the Lord136 GOD.3069
1 Again in the ninth8671 year,8141 in the tenth6224 month,2320 in the tenth6218 day of the month,2320 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 write3789 thee 853 the name8034 of the day,3117 853 even of this2088 same6106 day:3117 the king4428 of Babylon894 set5564 himself against413 Jerusalem3389 this2088 same6106 day.3117
3 And utter4911 a parable4912 unto413 the rebellious4805 house,1004 and say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Set on8239 a pot,5518 set it on,8239 and also1571 pour3332 water4325 into it:
4 Gather622 the pieces5409 thereof into413 it, even every3605 good2896 piece,5409 the thigh,3409 and the shoulder;3802 fill4390 it with the choice4005 bones.6106
5 Take3947 the choice4005 of the flock,6629 and burn1752 also1571 the bones6106 under8478 it, and make it boil7570 well,7571 and1571 let them seethe1310 the bones6106 of it therein.8432
6 Wherefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Woe188 to the bloody1818 city,5892 to the pot5518 whose834 scum2457 is therein, and whose scum2457 is not3808 gone out3318 of4480 it! bring it out3318 piece5409 by piece;5409 let no3808 lot1486 fall5307 upon5921 it.
7 For3588 her blood1818 is1961 in the midst8432 of her; she set7760 it upon5921 the top6706 of a rock;5553 she poured8210 it not3808 upon5921 the ground,776 to cover3680 5921 it with dust;6083
8 That it might cause fury2534 to come up5927 to take5358 vengeance;5359 I have set5414 853 her blood1818 upon5921 the top6706 of a rock,5553 that it should not1115 be covered.3680
9 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Woe188 to the bloody1818 city!5892 I589 will even1571 make the pile for fire4071 great.1431
10 Heap on7235 wood,6086 kindle1814 the fire,784 consume8552 the flesh,1320 and spice it well,7543 4841 and let the bones6106 be burned.2787
11 Then set5975 it empty7386 upon5921 the coals1513 thereof, that4616 the brass5178 of it may be hot,2552 and may burn,2787 and that the filthiness2932 of it may be molten5413 in8432 it, that the scum2457 of it may be consumed.8552
12 She hath wearied3811 herself with lies,8383 and her great7227 scum2457 went not forth3318 3808 out of4480 her: her scum2457 shall be in the fire.784
13 In thy filthiness2932 is lewdness:2154 because3282 I have purged2891 thee, and thou wast not3808 purged,2891 thou shalt not3808 be purged2891 from thy filthiness4480 2932 any more,5750 till5704 I have caused 853 my fury2534 to rest5117 upon thee.
14 I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it: it shall come to pass,935 and I will do6213 it; I will not3808 go back,6544 neither3808 will I spare,2347 neither3808 will I repent;5162 according to thy ways,1870 and according to thy doings,5949 shall they judge8199 thee, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
15 Also the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
16 Son1121 of man,120 behold,2009 I take away3947 from4480 thee 853 the desire4261 of thine eyes5869 with a stroke:4046 yet neither3808 shalt thou mourn5594 nor3808 weep,1058 neither3808 shall thy tears1832 run down.935
17 Forbear1826 to cry,602 make6213 no3808 mourning60 for the dead,4191 bind2280 the tire of thine head6287 upon5921 thee, and put on7760 thy shoes5275 upon thy feet,7272 and cover5844 not3808 thy lips,8222 and eat398 not3808 the bread3899 of men.376
18 So I spoke1696 unto413 the people5971 in the morning:1242 and at even6153 my wife802 died;4191 and I did6213 in the morning1242 as834 I was commanded.6680
19 And the people5971 said559 unto413 me, Wilt thou not3808 tell5046 us what4100 these428 things are to us, that3588 thou859 doest6213 so?
20 Then I answered559 413 them, The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
21 Speak559 unto the house1004 of Israel,3478 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I will profane2490 853 my sanctuary,4720 the excellency1347 of your strength,5797 the desire4261 of your eyes,5869 and that which your soul5315 pitieth;4263 and your sons1121 and your daughters1323 whom834 ye have left5800 shall fall5307 by the sword.2719
22 And ye shall do6213 as834 I have done:6213 ye shall not3808 cover5844 5921 your lips,8222 nor3808 eat398 the bread3899 of men.376
23 And your tires6287 shall be upon5921 your heads,7218 and your shoes5275 upon your feet:7272 ye shall not3808 mourn5594 nor3808 weep;1058 but ye shall pine away4743 for your iniquities,5771 and mourn5098 one376 toward413 another.251
24 Thus Ezekiel3168 is1961 unto you a sign:4159 according to all3605 that834 he hath done6213 shall ye do:6213 and when this cometh,935 ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the Lord136 GOD.3069
25 Also, thou859 son1121 of man,120 shall it not3808 be in the day3117 when I take3947 from4480 them 853 their strength,4581 the joy4885 of their glory,8597 853 the desire4261 of their eyes,5869 and that whereupon they set4853 their minds,5315 their sons1121 and their daughters,1323
26 That he that escapeth6412 in that1931 day3117 shall come935 unto413 thee, to cause thee to hear2045 it with thine ears?241
27 In that1931 day3117 shall thy mouth6310 be opened6605 853 to him which is escaped,6412 and thou shalt speak,1696 and be no more dumb:481 3808 5750 and thou shalt be1961 a sign4159 unto them; and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 again unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 set7760 thy face6440 against413 the Ammonites,1121 5983 and prophesy5012 against5921 them;
3 And say559 unto the Ammonites,1121 5983 Hear8085 the word1697 of the Lord136 GOD;3069 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 thou saidst,559 Aha,1889 against413 my sanctuary,4720 when3588 it was profaned;2490 and against413 the land127 of Israel,3478 when3588 it was desolate;8074 and against413 the house1004 of Judah,3063 when3588 they went1980 into captivity;1473
4 Behold,2009 therefore3651 I will deliver5414 thee to the men1121 of the east6924 for a possession,4181 and they shall set3427 their palaces2918 in thee, and make5414 their dwellings4908 in thee: they1992 shall eat398 thy fruit,6529 and they1992 shall drink8354 thy milk.2461
5 And I will make5414 853 Rabbah7237 a stable5116 for camels,1581 and the Ammonites1121 5983 a couching place4769 for flocks:6629 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
6 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 thou hast clapped4222 thine hands,3027 and stamped7554 with the feet,7272 and rejoiced8055 in heart5315 with all3605 thy despite7589 against413 the land127 of Israel;3478
7 Behold,2009 therefore3651 I will stretch out5186 853 mine hand3027 upon5921 thee, and will deliver5414 thee for a spoil957 to the heathen;1471 and I will cut thee off3772 from4480 the people,5971 and I will cause thee to perish6 out of4480 the countries:776 I will destroy8045 thee; and thou shalt know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
8 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because that3282 Moab4124 and Seir8165 do say,559 Behold,2009 the house1004 of Judah3063 is like unto all3605 the heathen;1471
9 Therefore,3651 behold,2009 I will open6605 853 the side3802 of Moab4124 from the cities,4480 5892 from his cities4480 5892 which are on his frontiers,4480 7097 the glory6643 of the country,776 Beth-jeshimoth,1020 Baal-meon,1186 and Kiriathaim,7156
10 Unto the men1121 of the east6924 with5921 the Ammonites,1121 5983 and will give5414 them in possession,4181 that4616 the Ammonites1121 5983 may not3808 be remembered2142 among the nations.1471
11 And I will execute6213 judgments8201 upon Moab;4124 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
12 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because that3282 Edom123 hath dealt6213 against the house1004 of Judah3063 by taking5358 vengeance,5359 and hath greatly offended,816 816 and revenged himself5358 upon them;
13 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will also stretch out5186 mine hand3027 upon5921 Edom,123 and will cut off3772 man120 and beast929 from4480 it; and I will make5414 it desolate2723 from Teman;4480 8487 and they of Dedan1719 shall fall5307 by the sword.2719
14 And I will lay5414 853 my vengeance5360 upon Edom123 by the hand3027 of my people5971 Israel:3478 and they shall do6213 in Edom123 according to mine anger639 and according to my fury;2534 and they shall know3045 853 my vengeance,5360 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
15 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 the Philistines6430 have dealt6213 by revenge,5360 and have taken5358 vengeance5359 with a despiteful7589 heart,5315 to destroy4889 it for the old5769 hatred;342
16 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I will stretch out5186 mine hand3027 upon5921 the Philistines,6430 and I will cut off3772 853 the Cherethims,3774 and destroy6 853 the remnant7611 of the sea3220 coast.2348
17 And I will execute6213 great1419 vengeance5360 upon them with furious2534 rebukes;8433 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I shall lay5414 853 my vengeance5360 upon them.
1 And it came to pass1961 in the eleventh6249 6240 year,8141 in the first259 day of the month,2320 that the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 because that3282 834 Tyrus6865 hath said559 against5921 Jerusalem,3389 Aha,1889 she is broken7665 that was the gates1817 of the people:5971 she is turned5437 unto413 me: I shall be replenished,4390 now she is laid waste:2717
3 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I am against5921 thee, O Tyrus,6865 and will cause many7227 nations1471 to come up5927 against5921 thee, as the sea3220 causeth his waves1530 to come up.5927
4 And they shall destroy7843 the walls2346 of Tyrus,6865 and break down2040 her towers:4026 I will also scrape5500 her dust6083 from4480 her, and make5414 her like the top6706 of a rock.5553
5 It shall be1961 a place for the spreading4894 of nets2764 in the midst8432 of the sea:3220 for3588 I589 have spoken1696 it, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD:3069 and it shall become1961 a spoil957 to the nations.1471
6 And her daughters1323 which834 are in the field7704 shall be slain2026 by the sword;2719 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
7 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I will bring935 upon413 Tyrus6865 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon,894 a king4428 of kings,4428 from the north,4480 6828 with horses,5483 and with chariots,7393 and with horsemen,6571 and companies,6951 and much7227 people.5971
8 He shall slay2026 with the sword2719 thy daughters1323 in the field:7704 and he shall make5414 a fort1785 against5921 thee, and cast8210 a mount5550 against5921 thee, and lift up6965 the buckler6793 against5921 thee.
9 And he shall set5414 engines4239 of war6904 against thy walls,2346 and with his axes2719 he shall break down5422 thy towers.4026
10 By reason of the abundance4480 8229 of his horses5483 their dust80 shall cover3680 thee: thy walls2346 shall shake7493 at the noise4480 6963 of the horsemen,6571 and of the wheels,1534 and of the chariots,7393 when he shall enter935 into thy gates,8179 as men enter into3996 a city5892 wherein is made a breach.1234
11 With the hooves6541 of his horses5483 shall he tread down7429 853 all3605 thy streets:2351 he shall slay2026 thy people5971 by the sword,2719 and thy strong5797 garrisons4676 shall go down3381 to the ground.776
12 And they shall make a spoil7997 of thy riches,2428 and make a prey962 of thy merchandise:7404 and they shall break down2040 thy walls,2346 and destroy5422 thy pleasant2532 houses:1004 and they shall lay7760 thy stones68 and thy timber6086 and thy dust6083 in the midst8432 of the water.4325
13 And I will cause the noise1995 of thy songs7892 to cease;7673 and the sound6963 of thy harps3658 shall be no3808 more5750 heard.8085
14 And I will make5414 thee like the top6706 of a rock:5553 thou shalt be1961 a place to spread nets upon;4894 2764 thou shalt be built1129 no3808 more:5750 for3588 I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
15 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 to Tyrus;6865 Shall not3808 the isles339 shake7493 at the sound4480 6963 of thy fall,4658 when the wounded2491 cry,602 when the slaughter2027 is made2026 in the midst8432 of thee?
16 Then all3605 the princes5387 of the sea3220 shall come down3381 from4480 5921 their thrones,3678 and lay away5493 853 their robes,4598 and put off6584 their embroidered7553 garments:899 they shall clothe3847 themselves with trembling;2731 they shall sit3427 upon5921 the ground,776 and shall tremble2729 at every moment,7281 and be astonished8074 at5921 thee.
17 And they shall take up5375 a lamentation7015 for5921 thee, and say559 to thee, How349 art thou destroyed,6 that wast inhabited3427 of seafaring men,4480 3220 the renowned1984 city,5892 which834 wast1961 strong2389 in the sea,3220 she1931 and her inhabitants,3427 which834 cause5414 their terror2851 to be on all3605 that haunt3427 it!
18 Now6258 shall the isles339 tremble2729 in the day3117 of thy fall;4658 yea, the isles339 that834 are in the sea3220 shall be troubled926 at thy departure.4480 3318
19 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 When I shall make5414 thee a desolate2717 city,5892 like the cities5892 that834 are not3808 inhabited;3427 when I shall bring up5927 853 the deep8415 upon5921 thee, and great7227 waters4325 shall cover3680 thee;
20 When I shall bring thee down3381 with854 them that descend3381 into the pit,953 with413 the people5971 of old time,5769 and shall set3427 thee in the low parts8482 of the earth,776 in places desolate2723 of old,4480 5769 with854 them that go down3381 to the pit,953 that4616 thou be not3808 inhabited;3427 and I shall set5414 glory6643 in the land776 of the living;2416
21 I will make5414 thee a terror,1091 and thou shalt be no369 more: though thou be sought for,1245 yet shalt thou never3808 5769 be found4672 again,5750 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 again unto413 me, saying,559
2 Now, thou859 son1121 of man,120 take up5375 a lamentation7015 for5921 Tyrus;6865
3 And say559 unto Tyrus,6865 O thou that art situate3427 at5921 the entry3997 of the sea,3220 which art a merchant7402 of the people5971 for413 many7227 isles,339 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 O Tyrus,6865 thou859 hast said,559 I589 am of perfect3632 beauty.3308
4 Thy borders1366 are in the midst3820 of the seas,3220 thy builders1129 have perfected3634 thy beauty.3308
5 They have made1129 853 all3605 thy ship boards3871 of fir trees1265 of Senir:4480 8149 they have taken3947 cedars730 from Lebanon4480 3844 to make6213 masts8650 for5921 thee.
6 Of the oaks437 of Bashan4480 1316 have they made6213 thine oars;4880 the company1323 of the Ashurites804 have made6213 thy benches7175 of ivory,8127 brought out of the isles4480 339 of Chittim.3794
7 Fine linen8336 with embroidered work7553 from Egypt4480 4714 was1961 that which thou spreadest forth4666 to be1961 thy sail;5251 blue8504 and purple713 from the isles4480 339 of Elishah473 was1961 that which covered4374 thee.
8 The inhabitants3427 of Zidon6721 and Arvad719 were1961 thy mariners:7751 thy wise2450 men, O Tyrus,6865 that were1961 in thee, were thy pilots.2259
9 The ancients2205 of Gebal1380 and the wise2450 men thereof were1961 in thee thy caulkers:2388 919 all3605 the ships591 of the sea3220 with their mariners4419 were1961 in thee to occupy6149 thy merchandise.4627
10 They of Persia6539 and of Lud3865 and of Phut6316 were1961 in thine army,2428 thy men376 of war:4421 they hanged8518 the shield4043 and helmet3553 in thee; they1992 set forth5414 thy comeliness.1926
11 The men1121 of Arvad719 with thine army2428 were upon5921 thy walls2346 round about,5439 and the Gammadims1575 were1961 in thy towers:4026 they hanged8518 their shields7982 upon5921 thy walls2346 round about;5439 they1992 have made thy beauty perfect.3634 3308
12 Tarshish8659 was thy merchant5503 by reason of the multitude4480 7230 of all3605 kind of riches;1952 with silver,3701 iron,1270 tin,913 and lead,5777 they traded5414 in thy fairs.5801

15 The men1121 of Dedan1719 were thy merchants;7402 many7227 isles339 were the merchandise5506 of thine hand:3027 they brought7725 thee for a present814 horns7161 of ivory8127 and ebony.1894
16 Syria758 was thy merchant5503 by reason of the multitude4480 7230 of the wares of thy making:4639 they occupied5414 in thy fairs5801 with emeralds,5306 purple,713 and embroidered work,7553 and fine linen,948 and coral,7215 and agate.3539

19 Dan2051 also and Javan3120 going to and fro235 occupied5414 in thy fairs:5801 bright6219 iron,1270 cassia,6916 and calamus,7070 were1961 in thy market.4627
20 Dedan1719 was thy merchant7402 in precious2667 clothes899 for chariots.7396
21 Arabia,6152 and all3605 the princes5387 of Kedar,6938 they1992 occupied with5503 3027 thee in lambs,3733 and rams,352 and goats:6260 in these were they thy merchants.5503
22 The merchants7402 of Sheba7614 and Raamah,7484 they1992 were thy merchants:7402 they occupied5414 in thy fairs5801 with chief7218 of all3605 spices,1314 and with all3605 precious3368 stones,68 and gold.2091
23 Haran,2771 and Canneh,3656 and Eden,5729 the merchants7402 of Sheba,7614 Asshur,804 and Chilmad,3638 were thy merchants.7402
24 These1992 were thy merchants7402 in all sorts4360 of things, in blue8504 clothes,1545 and embroidered work,7553 and in chests1595 of rich apparel,1264 bound2280 with cords,2256 and made of cedar,729 among thy merchandise.4819
25 The ships591 of Tarshish8659 did sing7788 of thee in thy market:4627 and thou wast replenished,4390 and made very glorious3513 3966 in the midst3820 of the seas.3220
26 Thy rowers7751 have brought935 thee into great7227 waters:4325 the east6921 wind7307 hath broken7665 thee in the midst3820 of the seas.3220
27 Thy riches,1952 and thy fairs,5801 thy merchandise,4627 thy mariners,4419 and thy pilots,2259 thy caulkers,2388 919 and the occupiers6148 of thy merchandise,4267 and all3605 thy men376 of war,4421 that834 are in thee, and in all3605 thy company6951 which834 is in the midst8432 of thee, shall fall5307 into the midst3820 of the seas3220 in the day3117 of thy ruin.4658
28 The suburbs4054 shall shake7493 at the sound6963 of the cry2201 of thy pilots.2259
29 And all3605 that handle8610 the oar,4880 the mariners,4419 and all3605 the pilots2259 of the sea,3220 shall come down3381 from their ships,4480 591 they shall stand5975 upon413 the land;776
30 And shall cause their voice6963 to be heard8085 against5921 thee, and shall cry2199 bitterly,4751 and shall cast up5927 dust6083 upon5921 their heads,7218 they shall wallow themselves6428 in the ashes:665
31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald7139 7144 for413 thee, and gird2296 them with sackcloth,8242 and they shall weep1058 for413 thee with bitterness4751 of heart5315 and bitter4751 wailing.4553
32 And in their wailing5204 they shall take up5375 a lamentation7015 for413 thee, and lament6969 over5921 thee, saying, What4310 city is like Tyrus,6865 like the destroyed1822 in the midst8432 of the sea?3220
33 When thy wares5801 went forth3318 out of the seas,4480 3220 thou filledst7646 many7227 people;5971 thou didst enrich6238 the kings4428 of the earth776 with the multitude7230 of thy riches1952 and of thy merchandise.4627
34 In the time6256 when thou shalt be broken7665 by the seas4480 3220 in the depths4615 of the waters4325 thy merchandise4627 and all3605 thy company6951 in the midst8432 of thee shall fall.5307
35 All3605 the inhabitants3427 of the isles339 shall be astonished8074 at5921 thee, and their kings4428 shall be sore afraid,8175 8178 they shall be troubled7481 in their countenance.6440
36 The merchants5503 among the people5971 shall hiss8319 at5921 thee; thou shalt be1961 a terror,1091 and never369 shalt be any more.5704 5769
1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 again unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 say559 unto the prince5057 of Tyrus,6865 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 thine heart3820 is lifted up,1361 and thou hast said,559 I589 am a God,410 I sit3427 in the seat4186 of God,430 in the midst3820 of the seas;3220 yet thou859 art a man,120 and not3808 God,410 though thou set5414 thine heart3820 as the heart3820 of God:430
3 Behold,2009 thou859 art wiser2450 than Daniel;4480 1840 there is no3808 secret5640 that they can hide6004 from thee:
4 With thy wisdom2451 and with thine understanding8394 thou hast gotten6213 thee riches,2428 and hast gotten6213 gold2091 and silver3701 into thy treasures:214
5 By thy great7230 wisdom2451 and by thy traffic7404 hast thou increased7235 thy riches,2428 and thine heart3824 is lifted up1361 because of thy riches:2428
6 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 thou hast set5414 853 thine heart3820 as the heart3820 of God;430
7 Behold,2009 therefore3651 I will bring935 strangers2114 upon5921 thee, the terrible6184 of the nations:1471 and they shall draw7324 their swords2719 against5921 the beauty3308 of thy wisdom,2451 and they shall defile2490 thy brightness.3314
8 They shall bring thee down3381 to the pit,7845 and thou shalt die4191 the deaths4463 of them that are slain2491 in the midst3820 of the seas.3220
9 Wilt thou yet say559 559 before6440 him that slayeth2026 thee, I589 am God?430 but thou859 shalt be a man,120 and no3808 God,410 in the hand3027 of him that slayeth2490 thee.
10 Thou shalt die4191 the deaths4194 of the uncircumcised6189 by the hand3027 of strangers:2114 for3588 I589 have spoken1696 it, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
11 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
12 Son1121 of man,120 take up5375 a lamentation7015 upon5921 the king4428 of Tyrus,6865 and say559 unto him, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Thou859 sealest up2856 the sum,8508 full4392 of wisdom,2451 and perfect3632 in beauty.3308
13 Thou hast been1961 in Eden5731 the garden1588 of God;430 every3605 precious3368 stone68 was thy covering,4540 the sardius,124 topaz,6357 and the diamond,3095 the beryl,8658 the onyx,7718 and the jasper,3471 the sapphire,5601 the emerald,5306 and the carbuncle,1304 and gold:2091 the workmanship4399 of thy tabrets8596 and of thy pipes5345 was prepared3559 in thee in the day3117 that thou wast created.1254
14 Thou859 art the anointed4473 cherub3742 that covereth;5526 and I have set5414 thee so: thou wast1961 upon the holy6944 mountain2022 of God;430 thou hast walked up and down1980 in the midst8432 of the stones68 of fire.784
15 Thou859 wast perfect8549 in thy ways1870 from the day4480 3117 that thou wast created,1254 till5704 iniquity5766 was found4672 in thee.
16 By the multitude7230 of thy merchandise7404 they have filled4390 the midst8432 of thee with violence,2555 and thou hast sinned:2398 therefore I will cast thee as profane2490 out of the mountain4480 2022 of God:430 and I will destroy6 thee, O covering5526 cherub,3742 from the midst4480 8432 of the stones68 of fire.784
17 Thine heart3820 was lifted up1361 because of thy beauty,3308 thou hast corrupted7843 thy wisdom2451 by reason of5921 thy brightness:3314 I will cast7993 thee to5921 the ground,776 I will lay5414 thee before6440 kings,4428 that they may behold7200 thee.
18 Thou hast defiled2490 thy sanctuaries4720 by the multitude4480 7230 of thine iniquities,5771 by the iniquity5766 of thy traffic;7404 therefore will I bring forth3318 a fire784 from the midst4480 8432 of thee, it1931 shall devour398 thee, and I will bring5414 thee to ashes665 upon5921 the earth776 in the sight5869 of all3605 them that behold7200 thee.
19 All3605 they that know3045 thee among the people5971 shall be astonished8074 at5921 thee: thou shalt be1961 a terror,1091 and never369 shalt thou be any more.5704 5769
20 Again the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
21 Son1121 of man,120 set7760 thy face6440 against413 Zidon,6721 and prophesy5012 against5921 it,
22 And say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I am against5921 thee, O Zidon;6721 and I will be glorified3513 in the midst8432 of thee: and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I shall have executed6213 judgments8201 in her, and shall be sanctified6942 in her.
23 For I will send7971 into her pestilence,1698 and blood1818 into her streets;2351 and the wounded2491 shall be judged5307 in the midst8432 of her by the sword2719 upon5921 her on every side;4480 5439 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
24 And there shall be1961 no3808 more5750 a pricking3992 brier5544 unto the house1004 of Israel,3478 nor any grieving3510 thorn6975 of all4480 3605 that are round about5439 them, that despised7590 them; and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the Lord136 GOD.3069
25 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 When I shall have gathered6908 853 the house1004 of Israel3478 from4480 the people5971 among whom834 they are scattered,6327 and shall be sanctified6942 in them in the sight5869 of the heathen,1471 then shall they dwell3427 in5921 their land127 that834 I have given5414 to my servant5650 Jacob.3290
26 And they shall dwell3427 safely983 therein,5921 and shall build1129 houses,1004 and plant5193 vineyards;3754 yea, they shall dwell3427 with confidence,983 when I have executed6213 judgments8201 upon all3605 those that despise7590 them round about4480 5439 them; and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 their God.430
1 In the tenth6224 year,8141 in the tenth6224 month, in the twelfth8147 6240 day of the month,2320 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 set7760 thy face6440 against5921 Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt,4714 and prophesy5012 against5921 him, and against5921 all3605 Egypt:4714
3 Speak,1696 and say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I am against5921 thee, Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt,4714 the great1419 dragon8577 that lieth7257 in the midst8432 of his rivers,2975 which834 hath said,559 My river2975 is mine own, and I589 have made6213 it for myself.
4 But I will put5414 hooks2397 in thy jaws,3895 and I will cause the fish1710 of thy rivers2975 to stick1692 unto thy scales,7193 and I will bring thee up5927 out of the midst4480 8432 of thy rivers,2975 and all3605 the fish1710 of thy rivers2975 shall stick1692 unto thy scales.7193
5 And I will leave5203 thee thrown into the wilderness,4057 thee and all3605 the fish1710 of thy rivers:2975 thou shalt fall5307 upon5921 the open6440 fields;7704 thou shalt not3808 be brought together,622 nor3808 gathered:6908 I have given5414 thee for meat402 to the beasts2416 of the field776 and to the fowls5775 of the heaven.8064
6 And all3605 the inhabitants3427 of Egypt4714 shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 because3282 they have been1961 a staff4938 of reed7070 to the house1004 of Israel.3478
7 When they took hold8610 of thee by thy hand,3709 thou didst break,7533 and rend1234 all3605 their shoulder:3802 and when they leaned8172 upon5921 thee, thou didst broke,7665 and madest all3605 their loins4975 to be at a stand.5976
8 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I will bring935 a sword2719 upon5921 thee, and cut off3772 man120 and beast929 out of4480 thee.
9 And the land776 of Egypt4714 shall be1961 desolate8077 and waste;2723 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD:3068 because3282 he hath said,559 The river2975 is mine, and I589 have made6213 it.
10 Behold,2009 therefore3651 I am against413 thee, and against413 thy rivers,2975 and I will make5414 853 the land776 of Egypt4714 utterly waste2723 2721 and desolate,8077 from the tower4480 4024 of Syene5482 even unto5704 the border1366 of Ethiopia.3568
11 No3808 foot7272 of man120 shall pass5674 through it, nor3808 foot7272 of beast929 shall pass5674 through it, neither3808 shall it be inhabited3427 forty705 years.8141
12 And I will make5414 853 the land776 of Egypt4714 desolate8077 in the midst8432 of the countries776 that are desolate,8074 and her cities5892 among8432 the cities5892 that are laid waste2717 shall be1961 desolate8077 forty705 years:8141 and I will scatter6327 853 the Egyptians4714 among the nations,1471 and will disperse2219 them through the countries.776
13 Yet3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 At the end4480 7093 of forty705 years8141 will I gather6908 853 the Egyptians4714 from4480 the people5971 whither834 8033 they were scattered:6327
14 And I will bring again7725 853 the captivity7622 of Egypt,4714 and will cause them to return7725 into the land776 of Pathros,6624 into5921 the land776 of their habitation;4351 and they shall be1961 there8033 a base8217 kingdom.4467
15 It shall be1961 the basest8217 of4480 the kingdoms;4467 neither3808 shall it exalt itself5375 any more5750 above5921 the nations:1471 for I will diminish4591 them, that they shall no more1115 rule7287 over the nations.1471
16 And it shall be1961 no3808 more5750 the confidence4009 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance,2142 5771 when they shall look6437 after310 them: but they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the Lord136 GOD.3069
17 And it came to pass1961 in the seven7651 and twentieth6242 year,8141 in the first7223 month, in the first259 day of the month,2320 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
18 Son1121 of man,120 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 caused 853 his army2428 to serve5647 a great1419 service5656 against413 Tyrus:6865 every3605 head7218 was made bald,7139 and every3605 shoulder3802 was peeled:4803 yet had1961 he no3808 wages,7939 nor his army,2428 for Tyrus,4480 6865 for5921 the service5656 that834 he had served5647 against5921 it:
19 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I will give5414 853 the land776 of Egypt4714 unto Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon;894 and he shall take5375 her multitude,1995 and take7997 her spoil,7998 and take962 her prey;957 and it shall be1961 the wages7939 for his army.2428
20 I have given5414 him 853 the land776 of Egypt4714 for his labor6468 wherewith834 he served5647 against it, because834 they wrought6213 for me, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
21 In that1931 day3117 will I cause the horn7161 of the house1004 of Israel3478 to bud forth,6779 and I will give5414 thee the opening6610 of the mouth6310 in the midst8432 of them; and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 again unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 prophesy5012 and say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Howl3213 ye, Woe1929 worth the day!3117
3 For3588 the day3117 is near,7138 even the day3117 of the LORD3068 is near,7138 a cloudy6051 day;3117 it shall be1961 the time6256 of the heathen.1471
4 And the sword2719 shall come935 upon Egypt,4714 and great pain2479 shall be1961 in Ethiopia,3568 when the slain2491 shall fall5307 in Egypt,4714 and they shall take away3947 her multitude,1995 and her foundations3247 shall be broken down.2040
5 Ethiopia,3568 and Libya,6316 and Lydia,3865 and all3605 the mingled people,6154 and Chub,3552 and the men1121 of the land776 that is in league,1285 shall fall5307 with854 them by the sword.2719
6 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 They also that uphold5564 Egypt4714 shall fall;5307 and the pride1347 of her power5797 shall come down:3381 from the tower4480 4024 of Syene5482 shall they fall5307 in it by the sword,2719 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
7 And they shall be desolate8074 in the midst8432 of the countries776 that are desolate,8074 and her cities5892 shall be1961 in the midst8432 of the cities5892 that are wasted.2717
8 And they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I have set5414 a fire784 in Egypt,4714 and when all3605 her helpers5826 shall be destroyed.7665
9 In that1931 day3117 shall messengers4397 go forth3318 from4480 6440 me in ships6716 to make 853 the careless983 Ethiopians3568 afraid,2729 and great pain2479 shall come1961 upon them, as in the day3117 of Egypt:4714 for,3588 lo,2009 it cometh.935
10 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will also make 853 the multitude1995 of Egypt4714 to cease7673 by the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon.894
11 He1931 and his people5971 with854 him, the terrible6184 of the nations,1471 shall be brought935 to destroy7843 the land:776 and they shall draw7324 their swords2719 against5921 Egypt,4714 and fill4390 853 the land776 with the slain.2491
12 And I will make5414 the rivers2975 dry,2724 and sell4376 853 the land776 into the hand3027 of the wicked:7451 and I will make the land waste,8074 776 and all that is therein,4393 by the hand3027 of strangers:2114 I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it.
13 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will also destroy6 the idols,1544 and I will cause their images457 to cease7673 out of Noph;4480 5297 and there shall be1961 no3808 more5750 a prince5387 of the land4480 776 of Egypt:4714 and I will put5414 a fear3374 in the land776 of Egypt.4714
14 And I will make Pathros desolate,8074 853 6624 and will set5414 fire784 in Zoan,6814 and will execute6213 judgments8201 in No.4996
15 And I will pour8210 my fury2534 upon5921 Sin,5512 the strength4581 of Egypt;4714 and I will cut off3772 853 the multitude1995 of No.4996
16 And I will set5414 fire784 in Egypt:4714 Sin5512 shall have great pain,2342 2342 and No4996 shall be1961 rent asunder,1234 and Noph5297 shall have distresses6862 daily.3119
17 The young men970 of Aven205 and of Pi-beseth6364 shall fall5307 by the sword:2719 and these2007 cities shall go1980 into captivity.7628
18 At Tehaphnehes8471 also the day3117 shall be darkened,2820 when I shall break7665 there8033 853 the yokes4133 of Egypt:4714 and the pomp1347 of her strength5797 shall cease7673 in her: as for her,1931 a cloud6051 shall cover3680 her, and her daughters1323 shall go1980 into captivity.7628
19 Thus will I execute6213 judgments8201 in Egypt:4714 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
20 And it came to pass1961 in the eleventh259 6240 year,8141 in the first7223 month, in the seventh7651 day of the month,2320 that the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
21 Son1121 of man,120 I have broken7665 853 the arm2220 of Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt;4714 and, lo,2009 it shall not3808 be bound up2280 to be healed,5414 7499 to put7760 a roller2848 to bind2280 it, to make it strong2388 to hold8610 the sword.2719
22 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I am against413 Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt,4714 and will break7665 853 his arms,2220 853 the strong,2389 and that which was broken;7665 and I will cause 853 the sword2719 to fall5307 out of his hand.4480 3027
23 And I will scatter6327 853 the Egyptians4714 among the nations,1471 and will disperse2219 them through the countries.776
24 And I will strengthen2388 853 the arms2220 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and put5414 853 my sword2719 in his hand:3027 but I will break7665 853 Pharaoh's6547 arms,2220 and he shall groan5008 before6440 him with the groanings5009 of a deadly wounded2491 man.
25 But I will strengthen2388 853 the arms2220 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and the arms2220 of Pharaoh6547 shall fall down;5307 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I shall put5414 my sword2719 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and he shall stretch it out5186 853 upon413 the land776 of Egypt.4714
26 And I will scatter6327 853 the Egyptians4714 among the nations,1471 and disperse2219 them among the countries;776 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
1 And it came to pass1961 in the eleventh259 6240 year,8141 in the third7992 month, in the first259 day of the month,2320 that the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 speak559 unto413 Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt,4714 and to413 his multitude;1995 Whom413 4310 art thou like1819 in thy greatness?1433
3 Behold,2009 the Assyrian804 was a cedar730 in Lebanon3844 with fair3303 branches,6057 and with a shadowing6751 shroud,2793 and of a high1362 stature;6967 and his top6788 was1961 among996 the thick boughs.5688
4 The waters4325 made him great,1431 the deep8415 set him up on high7311 with854 her rivers5104 running1980 round about5439 his plants,4302 and sent out7971 her little rivers8585 unto413 all3605 the trees6086 of the field.7704
5 Therefore5921 3651 his height6967 was exalted1361 above all4480 3605 the trees6086 of the field,7704 and his boughs5634 were multiplied,7235 and his branches6288 became long748 because of the multitude7227 of waters,4480 4325 when he shot forth.7971
6 All3605 the fowls5775 of heaven8064 made their nests7077 in his boughs,5589 and under8478 his branches6288 did all3605 the beasts2416 of the field7704 bring forth their young,3205 and under his shadow6738 dwelt3427 all3605 great7227 nations.1471
7 Thus was he fair3302 in his greatness,1433 in the length753 of his branches:1808 for3588 his root8328 was1961 by413 great7227 waters.4325
8 The cedars730 in the garden1588 of God430 could not3808 hide6004 him: the fir trees1265 were not like1819 3808 413 his boughs,5589 and the chestnut trees6196 were1961 not3808 like his branches;6288 nor3808 any3605 tree6086 in the garden1588 of God430 was like1819 unto413 him in his beauty.3308
9 I have made6213 him fair3303 by the multitude7230 of his branches:1808 so that all3605 the trees6086 of Eden,5731 that834 were in the garden1588 of God,430 envied7065 him.
10 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 834 thou hast lifted up1361 thyself in height,6967 and he hath shot up5414 his top6788 among413 996 the thick boughs,5688 and his heart3824 is lifted up7311 in his height;1363
11 I have therefore delivered5414 him into the hand3027 of the mighty one352 of the heathen;1471 he shall surely deal6213 6213 with him: I have driven him out1644 for his wickedness.7562
12 And strangers,2114 the terrible6184 of the nations,1471 have cut him off,3772 and have left5203 him: upon413 the mountains2022 and in all3605 the valleys1516 his branches1808 are fallen,5307 and his boughs6288 are broken7665 by all3605 the rivers650 of the land;776 and all3605 the people5971 of the earth776 are gone down3381 from his shadow,4480 6738 and have left5203 him.
13 Upon5921 his ruin4658 shall all3605 the fowls5775 of the heaven8064 remain,7931 and all3605 the beasts2416 of the field7704 shall be1961 upon413 his branches:6288
14 To the end4616 that834 none3808 of all3605 the trees6086 by the waters4325 exalt themselves1361 for their height,6967 neither3808 shoot up5414 853 their top6788 among413 996 the thick boughs,5688 neither3808 their trees352 stand up5975 in their height,1363 all3605 that drink8354 water:4325 for3588 they are all3605 delivered5414 unto death,4194 to413 the nether parts8482 of the earth,776 in the midst8432 of the children1121 of men,120 with413 them that go down3381 to the pit.953
15 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 In the day3117 when he went down3381 to the grave7585 I caused a mourning:56 I covered3680 853 the deep8415 for5921 him, and I restrained4513 the floods5104 thereof, and the great7227 waters4325 were stayed:3607 and I caused Lebanon3844 to mourn6937 for5921 him, and all3605 the trees6086 of the field7704 fainted5969 for5921 him.
16 I made the nations1471 to shake7493 at the sound4480 6963 of his fall,4658 when I cast him down3381 853 to hell7585 with854 them that descend3381 into the pit:953 and all3605 the trees6086 of Eden,5731 the choice4005 and best2896 of Lebanon,3844 all3605 that drink8354 water,4325 shall be comforted5162 in the nether parts8482 of the earth.776
17 They1992 also1571 went down3381 into hell7585 with854 him unto413 them that be slain2491 with the sword;2719 and they that were his arm,2220 that dwelt3427 under his shadow6738 in the midst8432 of the heathen.1471
18 To413 whom4310 art thou thus like1819 3602 in glory3519 and in greatness1433 among the trees6086 of Eden?5731 yet shalt thou be brought down3381 with854 the trees6086 of Eden5731 unto413 the nether parts8482 of the earth:776 thou shalt lie7901 in the midst8432 of the uncircumcised6189 with854 them that be slain2491 by the sword.2719 This1931 is Pharaoh6547 and all3605 his multitude,1995 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
1 And it came to pass1961 in the twelfth8147 6240 year,8141 in the twelfth8147 6240 month,2320 in the first259 day of the month,2320 that the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 take up5375 a lamentation7015 for5921 Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt,4714 and say559 unto413 him, Thou art like1819 a young lion3715 of the nations,1471 and thou859 art as a whale8577 in the seas:3220 and thou camest forth1518 with thy rivers,5104 and troubledst1804 the waters4325 with thy feet,7272 and fouledst7511 their rivers.5104
3 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will therefore spread out6566 853 my net7568 over5921 thee with a company6951 of many7227 people;5971 and they shall bring thee up5927 in my net.2764
4 Then will I leave5203 thee upon the land,776 I will cast thee forth2904 upon5921 the open6440 field,7704 and will cause all3605 the fowls5775 of the heaven8064 to remain7931 upon5921 thee, and I will fill7646 the beasts2416 of the whole3605 earth776 with4480 thee.
5 And I will lay5414 853 thy flesh1320 upon5921 the mountains,2022 and fill4390 the valleys1516 with thy height.7419
6 I will also water8248 with thy blood4480 1818 the land776 wherein thou swimmest,6824 even to413 the mountains;2022 and the rivers650 shall be full4390 of4480 thee.
7 And when I shall put thee out,3518 I will cover3680 the heaven,8064 and make the stars thereof dark;6937 853 3556 I will cover3680 the sun8121 with a cloud,6051 and the moon3394 shall not3808 give215 her light.216
8 All3605 the bright216 lights3974 of heaven8064 will I make dark6937 over5921 thee, and set5414 darkness2822 upon5921 thy land,776 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
9 I will also vex3707 the hearts3820 of many7227 people,5971 when I shall bring935 thy destruction7667 among the nations,1471 into5921 the countries776 which834 thou hast not3808 known.3045
10 Yea, I will make many people amazed8074 5971 7227 at5921 thee, and their kings4428 shall be horribly afraid8175 8178 for5921 thee, when I shall brandish5774 my sword2719 before5921 6440 them; and they shall tremble2729 at every moment,7281 every man376 for his own life,5315 in the day3117 of thy fall.4658
11 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 The sword2719 of the king4428 of Babylon894 shall come upon935 thee.
12 By the swords2719 of the mighty1368 will I cause thy multitude1995 to fall,5307 the terrible6184 of the nations,1471 all3605 of them: and they shall spoil7703 853 the pomp1347 of Egypt,4714 and all3605 the multitude1995 thereof shall be destroyed.8045
13 I will destroy6 also 853 all3605 the beasts929 thereof from beside4480 5921 the great7227 waters;4325 neither3808 shall the foot7272 of man120 trouble1804 them any more,5750 nor3808 the hooves6541 of beasts929 trouble1804 them.
14 Then227 will I make their waters deep,8257 4325 and cause their rivers5104 to run1980 like oil,8081 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
15 When I shall make5414 853 the land776 of Egypt4714 desolate,8077 and the country776 shall be destitute8074 of that whereof it was full,4480 4393 when I shall smite5221 853 all3605 them that dwell3427 therein, then shall they know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
16 This1931 is the lamentation7015 wherewith they shall lament6969 her: the daughters1323 of the nations1471 shall lament6969 her: they shall lament6969 for her, even for5921 Egypt,4714 and for5921 all3605 her multitude,1995 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
17 It came to pass1961 also in the twelfth8147 6240 year,8141 in the fifteenth2568 6240 day of the month,2320 that the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
18 Son1121 of man,120 wail5091 for5921 the multitude1995 of Egypt,4714 and cast them down,3381 even her, and the daughters1323 of the famous117 nations,1471 unto413 the nether parts8482 of the earth,776 with854 them that go down3381 into the pit.953
19 Whom4480 4310 dost thou pass in beauty?5276 go down,3381 and be thou laid7901 with854 the uncircumcised.6189
20 They shall fall5307 in the midst8432 of them that are slain2491 by the sword:2719 she is delivered5414 to the sword:2719 draw4900 her and all3605 her multitudes.1995
21 The strong410 among the mighty1368 shall speak1696 to him out of the midst4480 8432 of hell7585 with854 them that help5826 him: they are gone down,3381 they lie7901 uncircumcised,6189 slain2491 by the sword.2719
22 Asshur804 is there8033 and all3605 her company:6951 his graves6913 are about5439 him: all3605 of them slain,2491 fallen5307 by the sword:2719
23 Whose834 graves6913 are set5414 in the sides3411 of the pit,953 and her company6951 is1961 round about5439 her grave:6900 all3605 of them slain,2491 fallen5307 by the sword,2719 which834 caused5414 terror2851 in the land776 of the living.2416
24 There8033 is Elam5867 and all3605 her multitude1995 round about5439 her grave,6900 all3605 of them slain,2491 fallen5307 by the sword,2719 which834 are gone down3381 uncircumcised6189 into413 the nether parts8482 of the earth,776 which834 caused5414 their terror2851 in the land776 of the living;2416 yet have they borne5375 their shame3639 with854 them that go down3381 to the pit.953
25 They have set5414 her a bed4904 in the midst8432 of the slain2491 with all3605 her multitude:1995 her graves6913 are round about5439 him: all3605 of them uncircumcised,6189 slain2491 by the sword:2719 though3588 their terror2851 was caused5414 in the land776 of the living,2416 yet have they borne5375 their shame3639 with854 them that go down3381 to the pit:953 he is put5414 in the midst8432 of them that be slain.2491
26 There8033 is Meshech,4902 Tubal,8422 and all3605 her multitude:1995 her graves6913 are round about5439 him: all3605 of them uncircumcised,6189 slain2490 by the sword,2719 though3588 they caused5414 their terror2851 in the land776 of the living.2416
27 And they shall not3808 lie7901 with854 the mighty1368 that are fallen5307 of the uncircumcised,4480 6189 which834 are gone down3381 to hell7585 with their weapons3627 of war:4421 and they have laid5414 853 their swords2719 under8478 their heads,7218 but their iniquities5771 shall be1961 upon5921 their bones,6106 though3588 they were the terror2851 of the mighty1368 in the land776 of the living.2416
28 Yea, thou859 shalt be broken7665 in the midst8432 of the uncircumcised,6189 and shalt lie7901 with854 them that are slain2491 with the sword.2719
29 There8033 is Edom,123 her kings,4428 and all3605 her princes,5387 which834 with their might1369 are laid5414 by854 them that were slain2491 by the sword:2719 they1992 shall lie7901 with854 the uncircumcised,6189 and with854 them that go down3381 to the pit.953
30 There8033 be the princes5257 of the north,6828 all3605 of them, and all3605 the Zidonians,6722 which834 are gone down3381 with854 the slain;2491 with their terror2851 they are ashamed954 of their might;4480 1369 and they lie7901 uncircumcised6189 with854 them that be slain2491 by the sword,2719 and bear5375 their shame3639 with854 them that go down3381 to the pit.953
31 Pharaoh6547 shall see7200 them, and shall be comforted5162 over5921 all3605 his multitude,1995 even Pharaoh6547 and all3605 his army2428 slain2491 by the sword,2719 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
32 For3588 I have caused5414 853 my terror2851 in the land776 of the living:2416 and he shall be laid7901 in the midst8432 of the uncircumcised6189 with854 them that are slain2491 with the sword,2719 even Pharaoh6547 and all3605 his multitude,1995 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
1 Again the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 speak1696 to413 the children1121 of thy people,5971 and say559 unto413 them, When3588 I bring935 the sword2719 upon5921 a land,776 if the people5971 of the land776 take3947 a259 man376 of their coasts,4480 7097 and set5414 him for their watchman:6822
3 If when he seeth7200 853 the sword2719 come935 upon5921 the land,776 he blow8628 the trumpet,7782 and warn2094 853 the people;5971
4 Then whosoever heareth8085 8085 853 the sound6963 of the trumpet,7782 and taketh not warning;2094 3808 if the sword2719 come,935 and take him away,3947 his blood1818 shall be1961 upon his own head.7218
5 He heard8085 853 the sound6963 of the trumpet,7782 and took not warning;2094 3808 his blood1818 shall be1961 upon him. But he1931 that taketh warning2094 shall deliver4422 his soul.5315
6 But if3588 the watchman6822 see7200 853 the sword2719 come,935 and blow8628 not3808 the trumpet,7782 and the people5971 be not3808 warned;2094 if the sword2719 come,935 and take3947 any person5315 from among4480 them, he1931 is taken away3947 in his iniquity;5771 but his blood1818 will I require1875 at the watchman's6822 hand.4480 3027
7 So thou,859 O son1121 of man,120 I have set5414 thee a watchman6822 unto the house1004 of Israel;3478 therefore thou shalt hear8085 the word1697 at my mouth,4480 6310 and warn2094 them from4480 me.
8 When I say559 unto the wicked,7563 O wicked7563 man, thou shalt surely die;4191 4191 if thou dost not3808 speak1696 to warn2094 the wicked7563 from his way,4480 1870 that1931 wicked7563 man shall die4191 in his iniquity;5771 but his blood1818 will I require1245 at thine hand.4480 3027
9 Nevertheless, if3588 thou859 warn2094 the wicked7563 of his way4480 1870 to turn7725 from4480 it; if he do not3808 turn7725 from his way,4480 1870 he1931 shall die4191 in his iniquity;5771 but thou859 hast delivered5337 thy soul.5315
10 Therefore, O thou859 son1121 of man,120 speak559 unto413 the house1004 of Israel;3478 Thus3651 ye speak,559 saying,559 If3588 our transgressions6588 and our sins2403 be upon5921 us, and we587 pine away4743 in them, how349 should we then live?2421
11 Say559 unto413 them, As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 I have no pleasure518 2654 in the death4194 of the wicked;7563 but3588 518 that the wicked7563 turn7725 from his way4480 1870 and live:2421 turn7725 ye, turn7725 ye from your evil7451 ways;4480 1870 for why4100 will ye die,4191 O house1004 of Israel?3478
12 Therefore, thou859 son1121 of man,120 say559 unto413 the children1121 of thy people,5971 The righteousness6666 of the righteous6662 shall not3808 deliver5337 him in the day3117 of his transgression:6588 as for the wickedness7564 of the wicked,7563 he shall not3808 fall3782 thereby in the day3117 that he turneth7725 from his wickedness;4480 7562 neither3808 shall the righteous6662 be able3201 to live2421 for his righteousness in the day3117 that he sinneth.2398
13 When I shall say559 to the righteous,6662 that he shall surely live;2421 2421 if he1931 trust982 to5921 his own righteousness,6666 and commit6213 iniquity,5766 all3605 his righteousnesses6666 shall not3808 be remembered;2142 but for his iniquity5766 that834 he hath committed,6213 he shall die4191 for it.
14 Again, when I say559 unto the wicked,7563 Thou shalt surely die;4191 4191 if he turn7725 from his sin,4480 2403 and do6213 that which is lawful4941 and right;6666
15 If the wicked7563 restore7725 the pledge,2258 give again7999 that he had robbed,1500 walk1980 in the statutes2708 of life,2416 without1115 committing6213 iniquity;5766 he shall surely live,2421 2421 he shall not3808 die.4191
16 None3808 3605 of his sins2403 that834 he hath committed2398 shall be mentioned2142 unto him: he hath done6213 that which is lawful4941 and right;6666 he shall surely live.2421 2421
17 Yet the children1121 of thy people5971 say,559 The way1870 of the Lord136 is not equal:8505 3808 but as for them,1992 their way1870 is not equal.8505 3808
18 When the righteous6662 turneth7725 from his righteousness,4480 6666 and committeth6213 iniquity,5766 he shall even die4191 thereby.
19 But if the wicked7563 turn7725 from his wickedness,4480 7564 and do6213 that which is lawful4941 and right,6666 he1931 shall live2421 thereby.5921
20 Yet ye say,559 The way1870 of the Lord136 is not equal.8505 3808 O ye house1004 of Israel,3478 I will judge8199 you every one376 after his ways.1870
21 And it came to pass1961 in the twelfth8147 6240 year8141 of our captivity,1546 in the tenth6224 month, in the fifth2568 day of the month,2320 that one that had escaped6412 out of Jerusalem4480 3389 came935 unto413 me, saying,559 The city5892 is smitten.5221
22 Now the hand3027 of the LORD3068 was1961 upon413 me in the evening,6153 before6440 he that was escaped6412 came;935 and had opened6605 853 my mouth,6310 until5704 he came935 to413 me in the morning;1242 and my mouth6310 was opened,6605 and I was no more dumb.481 3808 5750
23 Then the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
24 Son1121 of man,120 they that inhabit3427 those428 wastes2723 of5921 the land127 of Israel3478 speak,559 saying,559 Abraham85 was1961 one,259 and he inherited3423 853 the land:776 but we587 are many;7227 the land776 is given5414 us for inheritance.4181
25 Wherefore3651 say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Ye eat398 with5921 the blood,1818 and lift up5375 your eyes5869 toward413 your idols,1544 and shed8210 blood:1818 and shall ye possess3423 the land?776
26 Ye stand5975 upon5921 your sword,2719 ye work6213 abomination,8441 and ye defile2930 every one376 853 his neighbor's7453 wife:802 and shall ye possess3423 the land?776
27 Say559 thou thus3541 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 As I589 live,2416 surely518 3808 they that834 are in the wastes2723 shall fall5307 by the sword,2719 and him that834 is in5921 the open6440 field7704 will I give5414 to the beasts2416 to be devoured,398 and they that834 be in the forts4679 and in the caves4631 shall die4191 of the pestilence.1698
28 For I will lay5414 853 the land776 most desolate,8077 4923 and the pomp1347 of her strength5797 shall cease;7673 and the mountains2022 of Israel3478 shall be desolate,8074 that none4480 369 shall pass through.5674
29 Then shall they know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I have laid5414 853 the land776 most desolate8077 4923 because of5921 all3605 their abominations8441 which834 they have committed.6213
30 Also, thou859 son1121 of man,120 the children1121 of thy people5971 still are talking1696 against thee by681 the walls7023 and in the doors6607 of the houses,1004 and speak1696 one2297 to854 another,259 every one376 to854 his brother,251 saying,559 Come,935 I pray you,4994 and hear8085 what4100 is the word1697 that cometh forth3318 from4480 854 the LORD.3068
31 And they come935 unto413 thee as the people5971 cometh,3996 and they sit3427 before6440 thee as my people,5971 and they hear8085 853 thy words,1697 but they will not3808 do6213 them: for3588 with their mouth6310 they1992 show6213 much love,5690 but their heart3820 goeth1980 after310 their covetousness.1215
32 And, lo,2009 thou art unto them as a very lovely5690 song7892 of one that hath a pleasant3303 voice,6963 and can play well on an instrument:5059 3190 for they hear8085 853 thy words,1697 but they do6213 them not.369
33 And when this cometh to pass,935 (lo,2009 it will come,)935 then shall they know3045 that3588 a prophet5030 hath been1961 among8432 them.
1 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 prophesy5012 against5921 the shepherds7462 of Israel,3478 prophesy,5012 and say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 unto the shepherds;7462 Woe1945 be to the shepherds7462 of Israel3478 that834 do feed1961 7462 themselves! should not3808 the shepherds7462 feed7462 the flocks?6629
3 Ye eat398 853 the fat,2459 and ye clothe3847 you with854 the wool,6785 ye kill2076 them that are fed:1277 but ye feed7462 not3808 the flock.6629
4 853 The diseased2470 have ye not3808 strengthened,2388 neither3808 have ye healed7495 that which was sick,2470 neither3808 have ye bound up2280 that which was broken,7665 neither3808 have ye brought again7725 that which was driven away,5080 neither3808 have ye sought1245 that which was lost;6 but with force2394 and with cruelty6531 have ye ruled7287 them.
5 And they were scattered,6327 because there is no4480 1097 shepherd:7462 and they became1961 meat402 to all3605 the beasts2416 of the field,7704 when they were scattered.6327
6 My sheep6629 wandered7686 through all3605 the mountains,2022 and upon5921 every3605 high7311 hill:1389 yea, my flock6629 was scattered6327 upon5921 all3605 the face6440 of the earth,776 and none369 did search1875 or seek1245 after them.
7 Therefore,3651 ye shepherds,7462 hear8085 853 the word1697 of the LORD;3068
8 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 surely518 3808 because3282 my flock6629 became1961 a prey,957 and my flock6629 became1961 meat402 to every3605 beast2416 of the field,7704 because there was no4480 369 shepherd,7462 neither3808 did my shepherds7462 search1875 853 for my flock,6629 but the shepherds7462 fed7462 themselves, and fed7462 not3808 my flock;6629
9 Therefore,3651 O ye shepherds,7462 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD;3068
10 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I am against413 the shepherds;7462 and I will require1875 853 my flock6629 at their hand,4480 3027 and cause them to cease7673 from feeding4480 7462 the flock;6629 neither3808 shall the shepherds7462 feed7462 themselves any more;5750 for I will deliver5337 my flock6629 from their mouth,4480 6310 that they may not3808 be1961 meat402 for them.
11 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I, even I,589 will both search1875 853 my sheep,6629 and seek them out.1239
12 As a shepherd7462 seeketh out1243 his flock5739 in the day3117 that he is1961 among8432 his sheep6629 that are scattered;6566 so3651 will I seek out1239 853 my sheep,6629 and will deliver5337 them out of all4480 3605 places4725 where834 8033 they have been scattered6327 in the cloudy6051 and dark6205 day.3117
13 And I will bring them out3318 from4480 the people,5971 and gather6908 them from4480 the countries,776 and will bring935 them to413 their own land,127 and feed7462 them upon413 the mountains2022 of Israel3478 by the rivers,650 and in all3605 the inhabited places4186 of the country.776
14 I will feed7462 them in a good2896 pasture,4829 and upon the high4791 mountains2022 of Israel3478 shall their fold5116 be:1961 there8033 shall they lie7257 in a good2896 fold,5116 and in a fat8082 pasture4829 shall they feed7462 upon413 the mountains2022 of Israel.3478
15 I589 will feed7462 my flock,6629 and I589 will cause them to lie down,7257 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
16 I will seek1245 853 that which was lost,6 and bring again7725 that which was driven away,5080 and will bind up2280 that which was broken,7665 and will strengthen2388 that which was sick:2470 but I will destroy8045 the fat8082 and the strong;2389 I will feed7462 them with judgment.4941
17 And as for you,859 O my flock,6629 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I judge8199 between996 cattle7716 and cattle,7716 between the rams352 and the he goats.6260
18 Seemeth it a small thing4592 unto4480 you to have eaten up7462 the good2896 pasture,4829 but ye must tread down7429 with your feet7272 the residue3499 of your pastures?4829 and to have drunk8354 of the deep4950 waters,4325 but ye must foul7515 the residue3498 with your feet?7272
19 And as for my flock,6629 they eat7462 that which ye have trodden4823 with your feet;7272 and they drink8354 that which ye have fouled4833 with your feet.7272
20 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 unto413 them; Behold,2009 I,589 even I, will judge8199 between996 the fat1277 cattle7716 and between996 the lean7330 cattle.7716
21 Because3282 ye have thrust1920 with side6654 and with shoulder,3802 and pushed5055 all3605 the diseased2470 with your horns,7161 till5704 834 ye have scattered6327 them abroad;413 2351
22 Therefore will I save3467 my flock,6629 and they shall no3808 more5750 be1961 a prey;957 and I will judge8199 between996 cattle7716 and cattle.7716
23 And I will set up6965 one259 shepherd7462 over5921 them, and he shall feed7462 them, even 853 my servant5650 David;1732 he shall feed7462 them, and he1931 shall be1961 their shepherd.7462
24 And I589 the LORD3068 will be1961 their God,430 and my servant5650 David1732 a prince5387 among8432 them; I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it.
25 And I will make3772 with them a covenant1285 of peace,7965 and will cause the evil7451 beasts2416 to cease7673 out of4480 the land:776 and they shall dwell3427 safely983 in the wilderness,4057 and sleep3462 in the woods.3293
26 And I will make5414 them and the places round about5439 my hill1389 a blessing;1293 and I will cause the shower1653 to come down3381 in his season;6256 there shall be1961 showers1653 of blessing.1293
27 And the tree6086 of the field7704 shall yield5414 853 her fruit,6529 and the earth776 shall yield5414 her increase,2981 and they shall be1961 safe983 in5921 their land,127 and shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I have broken7665 853 the bands4133 of their yoke,5923 and delivered5337 them out of the hand4480 3027 of those that served5647 themselves of them.
28 And they shall no3808 more5750 be1961 a prey957 to the heathen,1471 neither3808 shall the beast2416 of the land776 devour398 them; but they shall dwell3427 safely,983 and none369 shall make them afraid.2729
29 And I will raise up6965 for them a plant4302 of renown,8034 and they shall be1961 no3808 more5750 consumed622 with hunger7458 in the land,776 neither3808 bear5375 the shame3639 of the heathen1471 any more.5750
30 Thus shall they know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 their God430 am with854 them, and that they,1992 even the house1004 of Israel,3478 are my people,5971 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
31 And ye859 my flock,6629 the flock6629 of my pasture,4830 are men,120 and I589 am your God,430 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
1 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 set7760 thy face6440 against5921 mount2022 Seir,8165 and prophesy5012 against5921 it,
3 And say559 unto it, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 O mount2022 Seir,8165 I am against413 thee, and I will stretch out5186 mine hand3027 against5921 thee, and I will make5414 thee most desolate.8077 4923
4 I will lay7760 thy cities5892 waste,2723 and thou859 shalt be1961 desolate,8077 and thou shalt know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
5 Because3282 thou hast had1961 a perpetual5769 hatred,342 and hast shed5064 the blood of 853 the children1121 of Israel3478 by5921 the force3027 of the sword2719 in the time6256 of their calamity,343 in the time6256 that their iniquity5771 had an end:7093
6 Therefore,3651 as I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 I will prepare6213 thee unto blood,1818 and blood1818 shall pursue7291 thee: sith518 thou hast not3808 hated8130 blood,1818 even blood1818 shall pursue7291 thee.
7 Thus will I make5414 853 mount2022 Seir8165 most desolate,8077 8077 and cut off3772 from4480 it him that passeth out5674 and him that returneth.7725
8 And I will fill4390 853 his mountains2022 with his slain2491 men: in thy hills,1389 and in thy valleys,1516 and in all3605 thy rivers,650 shall they fall5307 that are slain2491 with the sword.2719
9 I will make5414 thee perpetual5769 desolations,8077 and thy cities5892 shall not3808 return:3427 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
10 Because3282 thou hast said,559 853 These two8147 nations1471 and these two8147 countries776 shall be1961 mine, and we will possess3423 it; whereas the LORD3068 was1961 there:8033
11 Therefore,3651 as I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 I will even do6213 according to thine anger,639 and according to thine envy7068 which834 thou hast used6213 out of thy hatred4480 8135 against them; and I will make myself known3045 among them, when834 I have judged8199 thee.
12 And thou shalt know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 and that I have heard8085 853 all3605 thy blasphemies5007 which834 thou hast spoken559 against5921 the mountains2022 of Israel,3478 saying,559 They are laid desolate,8074 they are given5414 us to consume.402
13 Thus with your mouth6310 ye have boasted1431 against5921 me, and have multiplied6280 your words1697 against5921 me: I589 have heard8085 them.
14 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 When the whole3605 earth776 rejoiceth,8055 I will make6213 thee desolate.8077
15 As thou didst rejoice8057 at the inheritance5159 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 because5921 834 it was desolate,8074 so3651 will I do6213 unto thee: thou shalt be1961 desolate,8077 O mount2022 Seir,8165 and all3605 Idumea,123 even all3605 of it: and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
1 Also, thou859 son1121 of man,120 prophesy5012 unto413 the mountains2022 of Israel,3478 and say,559 Ye mountains2022 of Israel,3478 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD:3068
2 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 the enemy341 hath said559 against5921 you, Aha,1889 even the ancient5769 high places1116 are1961 ours in possession:4181
3 Therefore3651 prophesy5012 and say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 3282 they have made you desolate,8074 and swallowed you up7602 853 on every side,4480 5439 that ye might be1961 a possession4181 unto the residue7611 of the heathen,1471 and ye are taken up5927 in5921 the lips8193 of talkers,3956 and are an infamy1681 of the people:5971
4 Therefore,3651 ye mountains2022 of Israel,3478 hear8085 the word1697 of the Lord136 GOD;3069 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 to the mountains,2022 and to the hills,1389 to the rivers,650 and to the valleys,1516 to the desolate8074 wastes,2723 and to the cities5892 that are forsaken,5800 which834 became1961 a prey957 and derision3933 to the residue7611 of the heathen1471 that834 are round about;4480 5439
5 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Surely518 3808 in the fire784 of my jealousy7068 have I spoken1696 against5921 the residue7611 of the heathen,1471 and against5921 all3605 Idumea,123 which834 have appointed5414 853 my land776 into their possession4181 with the joy8057 of all3605 their heart,3824 with despiteful7589 minds,5315 to4616 cast it out1644 for a prey.957
6 Prophesy5012 therefore3651 concerning5921 the land127 of Israel,3478 and say559 unto the mountains,2022 and to the hills,1389 to the rivers,650 and to the valleys,1516 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I have spoken1696 in my jealousy7068 and in my fury,2534 because3282 ye have borne5375 the shame3639 of the heathen:1471
7 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I589 have lifted up5375 853 mine hand,3027 Surely518 3808 the heathen1471 that834 are about4480 5439 you, they1992 shall bear5375 their shame.3639
8 But ye,859 O mountains2022 of Israel,3478 ye shall shoot forth5414 your branches,6057 and yield5375 your fruit6529 to my people5971 of Israel;3478 for3588 they are at hand7126 to come.935
9 For,3588 behold,2009 I am for413 you, and I will turn6437 unto413 you, and ye shall be tilled5647 and sown:2232
10 And I will multiply7235 men120 upon5921 you, all3605 the house1004 of Israel,3478 even all3605 of it: and the cities5892 shall be inhabited,3427 and the wastes2723 shall be built:1129
11 And I will multiply7235 upon5921 you man120 and beast;929 and they shall increase7235 and bring fruit:6509 and I will settle3427 you after your old estates,6927 and will do better3190 unto you than at your beginnings:4480 7221 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
12 Yea, I will cause men120 to walk1980 upon5921 you, even 853 my people5971 Israel;3478 and they shall possess3423 thee, and thou shalt be1961 their inheritance,5159 and thou shalt no3808 more3254 henceforth5750 bereave7921 them of men.
13 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 they say559 unto you, Thou859 land devourest up398 men,120 and hast bereaved1961 7921 thy nations;1471
14 Therefore3651 thou shalt devour398 men120 no3808 more,5750 neither3808 bereave7921 thy nations1471 any more,5750 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
15 Neither3808 will I cause men to hear8085 in413 thee the shame3639 of the heathen1471 any more,5750 neither3808 shalt thou bear5375 the reproach2781 of the people5971 any more,5750 neither3808 shalt thou cause thy nations1471 to fall3782 any more,5750 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
16 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
17 Son1121 of man,120 when the house1004 of Israel3478 dwelt3427 in5921 their own land,127 they defiled2930 it by their own way1870 and by their doings:5949 their way1870 was1961 before6440 me as the uncleanness2932 of a removed woman.5079
18 Wherefore I poured8210 my fury2534 upon5921 them for5921 the blood1818 that834 they had shed8210 upon5921 the land,776 and for their idols1544 wherewith they had polluted2930 it:
19 And I scattered6327 them among the heathen,1471 and they were dispersed2219 through the countries:776 according to their way1870 and according to their doings5949 I judged8199 them.
20 And when they entered935 unto413 the heathen,1471 whither834 8033 they went,935 they profaned2490 853 my holy6944 name,8034 when they said559 to them, These428 are the people5971 of the LORD,3068 and are gone forth3318 out of his land.4480 776
21 But I had pity2550 for5921 mine holy6944 name,8034 which834 the house1004 of Israel3478 had profaned2490 among the heathen,1471 whither834 8033 they went.935
22 Therefore3651 say559 unto the house1004 of Israel,3478 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I589 do6213 not3808 this for your sakes,4616 O house1004 of Israel,3478 but3588 518 for mine holy6944 name's8034 sake, which834 ye have profaned2490 among the heathen,1471 whither834 8033 ye went.935
23 And I will sanctify6942 853 my great1419 name,8034 which was profaned2490 among the heathen,1471 which834 ye have profaned2490 in the midst8432 of them; and the heathen1471 shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 when I shall be sanctified6942 in you before their eyes.5869
24 For I will take3947 you from among4480 the heathen,1471 and gather6908 you out of all4480 3605 countries,776 and will bring935 you into413 your own land.127
25 Then will I sprinkle2236 clean2889 water4325 upon5921 you, and ye shall be clean:2891 from all4480 3605 your filthiness,2932 and from all4480 3605 your idols,1544 will I cleanse2891 you.
26 A new2319 heart3820 also will I give5414 you, and a new2319 spirit7307 will I put5414 within7130 you: and I will take away5493 853 the stony68 heart3820 out of your flesh,4480 1320 and I will give5414 you a heart3820 of flesh.1320
27 And I will put5414 my spirit7307 within7130 you, and cause6213 you to walk1980 in854 my statutes,2706 and ye shall keep8104 my judgments,4941 and do6213 them.
28 And ye shall dwell3427 in the land776 that834 I gave5414 to your fathers;1 and ye shall be1961 my people,5971 and I595 will be1961 your God.430
29 I will also save3467 you from all4480 3605 your uncleannesses:2932 and I will call7121 for413 the corn,1715 and will increase7235 it, and lay5414 no3808 famine7458 upon5921 you.
30 And I will multiply7235 853 the fruit6529 of the tree,6086 and the increase8570 of the field,7704 that4616 834 ye shall receive3947 no3808 more5750 reproach2781 of famine7458 among the heathen.1471
31 Then shall ye remember2142 853 your own evil7451 ways,1870 and your doings4611 that834 were not3808 good,2896 and shall loathe yourselves6962 in your own sight6440 for5921 your iniquities5771 and for5921 your abominations.8441
32 Not3808 for your sakes4616 do6213 I589 this, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 be it known3045 unto you: be ashamed954 and confounded3637 for your own ways,4480 1870 O house1004 of Israel.3478
33 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 In the day3117 that I shall have cleansed2891 you from all4480 3605 your iniquities5771 I will also cause you to dwell3427 853 in the cities,5892 and the wastes2723 shall be built.1129
34 And the desolate8074 land776 shall be tilled,5647 whereas8478 834 it lay1961 desolate8077 in the sight5869 of all3605 that passed by.5674
35 And they shall say,559 This1977 land776 that was desolate8074 is become1961 like the garden1588 of Eden;5731 and the waste2720 and desolate8074 and ruined2040 cities5892 are become fenced,1219 and are inhabited.3427
36 Then the heathen1471 that834 are left7604 round about5439 you shall know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 build1129 the ruined2040 places, and plant5193 that that was desolate:8074 I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it, and I will do6213 it.
37 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will yet5750 for this2063 be inquired of1875 by the house1004 of Israel,3478 to do6213 it for them; I will increase7235 them with men120 like a flock.6629
38 As the holy6944 flock,6629 as the flock6629 of Jerusalem3389 in her solemn feasts;4150 so3651 shall the waste2720 cities5892 be1961 filled4392 with flocks6629 of men:120 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
1 The hand3027 of the LORD3068 was1961 upon5921 me, and carried me out3318 in the spirit7307 of the LORD,3068 and set me down5117 in the midst8432 of the valley1237 which1931 was full4392 of bones,6106
2 And caused me to pass5674 by5921 them round about:5439 5439 and, behold,2009 there were very3966 many7227 in5921 the open6440 valley;1237 and, lo,2009 they were very3966 dry.3002
3 And he said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 can these428 bones6106 live?2421 And I answered,559 O Lord136 GOD,3069 thou859 knowest.3045
4 Again he said559 unto413 me, Prophesy5012 upon5921 these428 bones,6106 and say559 unto413 them, O ye dry3002 bones,6106 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD.3068
5 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 unto these428 bones;6106 Behold,2009 I589 will cause breath7307 to enter935 into you, and ye shall live:2421
6 And I will lay5414 sinews1517 upon5921 you, and will bring up5927 flesh1320 upon5921 you, and cover7159 5921 you with skin,5785 and put5414 breath7307 in you, and ye shall live;2421 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
7 So I prophesied5012 as834 I was commanded:6680 and as I prophesied,5012 there was1961 a noise,6963 and behold2009 a shaking,7494 and the bones6106 came together,7126 bone6106 to413 his bone.6106
8 And when I beheld,7200 lo,2009 the sinews1517 and the flesh1320 came up5927 upon5921 them, and the skin5785 covered7159 5921 them above:4605 but there was no369 breath7307 in them.
9 Then said559 he unto413 me, Prophesy5012 unto413 the wind,7307 prophesy,5012 son1121 of man,120 and say559 to413 the wind,7307 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Come935 from the four4480 702 winds,7307 O breath,7307 and breathe5301 upon these428 slain,2026 that they may live.2421
10 So I prophesied5012 as834 he commanded6680 me, and the breath7307 came935 into them, and they lived,2421 and stood up5975 upon5921 their feet,7272 an exceeding3966 3966 great1419 army.2428
11 Then he said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 these428 bones6106 are the whole3605 house1004 of Israel:3478 behold,2009 they say,559 Our bones6106 are dried,3001 and our hope8615 is lost:6 we are cut off1504 for our parts.
12 Therefore3651 prophesy5012 and say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 O my people,5971 I589 will open6605 853 your graves,6913 and cause you to come up5927 out of your graves,4480 6913 and bring935 you into413 the land127 of Israel.3478
13 And ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I have opened6605 853 your graves,6913 O my people,5971 and brought you up5927 853 out of your graves,4480 6913
14 And shall put5414 my spirit7307 in you, and ye shall live,2421 and I shall place5117 you in5921 your own land:127 then shall ye know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it, and performed6213 it, saith5002 the LORD.3068
15 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 again unto413 me, saying,559
16 Moreover, thou859 son1121 of man,120 take3947 thee one259 stick,6086 and write3789 upon5921 it, For Judah,3063 and for the children1121 of Israel3478 his companions:2270 then take3947 another259 stick,6086 and write3789 upon5921 it, For Joseph,3130 the stick6086 of Ephraim,669 and for all3605 the house1004 of Israel3478 his companions:2270
17 And join7126 them one259 to413 another259 into one259 stick;6086 and they shall become1961 one259 in thine hand.3027
18 And when834 the children1121 of thy people5971 shall speak559 unto413 thee, saying,559 Wilt thou not3808 show5046 us what4100 thou meanest by these?428
19 Say1696 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I589 will take3947 853 the stick6086 of Joseph,3130 which834 is in the hand3027 of Ephraim,669 and the tribes7626 of Israel3478 his fellows,2270 and will put5414 them with5921 him, even with854 the stick6086 of Judah,3063 and make6213 them one259 stick,6086 and they shall be1961 one259 in mine hand.3027
20 And the sticks6086 whereon834 5921 thou writest3789 shall be1961 in thine hand3027 before their eyes.5869
21 And say1696 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I589 will take3947 853 the children1121 of Israel3478 from among4480 996 the heathen,1471 whither834 8033 they be gone,1980 and will gather6908 them on every side,4480 5439 and bring935 them into413 their own land:127
22 And I will make6213 them one259 nation1471 in the land776 upon the mountains2022 of Israel;3478 and one259 king4428 shall be1961 king4428 to them all:3605 and they shall be1961 no3808 more5750 two8147 nations,1471 neither3808 shall they be divided2673 into two8147 kingdoms4467 any more at all:5750 5750
23 Neither3808 shall they defile2930 themselves any more5750 with their idols,1544 nor with their detestable things,8251 nor with any3605 of their transgressions:6588 but I will save3467 them out of all4480 3605 their dwelling places,4186 wherein834 they have sinned,2398 and will cleanse2891 them: so shall they be1961 my people,5971 and I589 will be1961 their God.430
24 And David1732 my servant5650 shall be king4428 over5921 them; and they all3605 shall have1961 one259 shepherd:7462 they shall also walk1980 in my judgments,4941 and observe8104 my statutes,2708 and do6213 them.
25 And they shall dwell3427 in5921 the land776 that834 I have given5414 unto Jacob3290 my servant,5650 wherein834 your fathers1 have dwelt;3427 and they shall dwell3427 therein,5921 even they,1992 and their children,1121 and their children's1121 children1121 forever:5769 and my servant5650 David1732 shall be their prince5387 forever.5769
26 Moreover I will make3772 a covenant1285 of peace7965 with them; it shall be1961 an everlasting5769 covenant1285 with854 them: and I will place5414 them, and multiply7235 them, and will set5414 my sanctuary4720 in the midst8432 of them forevermore.5769
27 My tabernacle4908 also shall be1961 with5921 them: yea, I will be1961 their God,430 and they1992 shall be1961 my people.5971
28 And the heathen1471 shall know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 do sanctify6942 853 Israel,3478 when my sanctuary4720 shall be1961 in the midst8432 of them forevermore.5769
1 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto me,413 saying,559
2 Son1121 of man,120 set7760 thy face6440 against413 Gog,1463 the land776 of Magog,4031 the chief7218 prince5387 of Meshech4902 and Tubal,8422 and prophesy5012 against5921 him,
3 And say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I am against413 thee, O Gog,1463 the chief7218 prince5387 of Meshech4902 and Tubal:8422
4 And I will turn thee back,7725 and put5414 hooks2397 into thy jaws,3895 and I will bring thee forth,3318 853 and all3605 thine army,2428 horses5483 and horsemen,6571 all3605 of them clothed3847 with all sorts4358 of armor, even a great7227 company6951 with bucklers6793 and shields,4043 all3605 of them handling8610 swords:2719
5 Persia,6539 Ethiopia,3568 and Libya6316 with854 them; all3605 of them with shield4043 and helmet:3553
6 Gomer,1586 and all3605 his bands;102 the house1004 of Togarmah8425 of the north6828 quarters,3411 and all3605 his bands:102 and many7227 people5971 with854 thee.
7 Be thou prepared,3559 and prepare3559 for thyself, thou,859 and all3605 thy company6951 that are assembled6950 unto5921 thee, and be1961 thou a guard4929 unto them.
8 After many7227 days4480 3117 thou shalt be visited:6485 in the latter319 years8141 thou shalt come935 into413 the land776 that is brought back7725 from the sword,4480 2719 and is gathered6908 out of many7227 people,4480 5971 against5921 the mountains2022 of Israel,3478 which834 have been1961 always8548 waste:2723 but it1931 is brought forth3318 out of the nations,4480 5971 and they shall dwell3427 safely983 all3605 of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend5927 and come935 like a storm,7722 thou shalt be1961 like a cloud6051 to cover3680 the land,776 thou,859 and all3605 thy bands,102 and many7227 people5971 with854 thee.
10 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 It shall also come to pass,1961 that at the same1931 time3117 shall things1697 come5927 into5921 thy mind,3824 and thou shalt think2803 an evil7451 thought:4284
11 And thou shalt say,559 I will go up5927 to5921 the land776 of unwalled villages;6519 I will go935 to them that are at rest,8252 that dwell3427 safely,983 all3605 of them dwelling3427 without369 walls,2346 and having neither369 bars1280 nor gates,1817
12 To take7997 a spoil,7998 and to take962 a prey;957 to turn7725 thine hand3027 upon5921 the desolate places2723 that are now inhabited,3427 and upon413 the people5971 that are gathered622 out of the nations,4480 1471 which have gotten6213 cattle4735 and goods,7075 that dwell3427 in5921 the midst2872 of the land.776
13 Sheba,7614 and Dedan,1719 and the merchants5503 of Tarshish,8659 with all3605 the young lions3715 thereof, shall say559 unto thee, Art thou859 come935 to take7997 a spoil?7998 hast thou gathered6950 thy company6951 to take962 a prey?957 to carry away5375 silver3701 and gold,2091 to take away3947 cattle4735 and goods,7075 to take7997 a great1419 spoil?7998
14 Therefore,3651 son1121 of man,120 prophesy5012 and say559 unto Gog,1463 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 In that1931 day3117 when my people5971 of Israel3478 dwelleth3427 safely,983 shalt thou not3808 know3045 it?
15 And thou shalt come935 from thy place4480 4725 out of the north6828 parts,4480 3411 thou,859 and many7227 people5971 with854 thee, all3605 of them riding7392 upon horses,5483 a great1419 company,6951 and a mighty7227 army:2428
16 And thou shalt come up5927 against5921 my people5971 of Israel,3478 as a cloud6051 to cover3680 the land;776 it shall be1961 in the latter319 days,3117 and I will bring935 thee against5921 my land,776 that4616 the heathen1471 may know3045 me, when I shall be sanctified6942 in thee, O Gog,1463 before their eyes.5869
17 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Art thou859 he1931 of whom834 I have spoken1696 in old6931 time3117 by3027 my servants5650 the prophets5030 of Israel,3478 which prophesied5012 in those1992 days3117 many years8141 that I would bring935 thee against5921 them?
18 And it shall come to pass1961 at the same1931 time3117 when3117 Gog1463 shall come935 against5921 the land127 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 that my fury2534 shall come up5927 in my face.639
19 For in my jealousy7068 and in the fire784 of my wrath5678 have I spoken,1696 Surely518 3808 in that1931 day3117 there shall be1961 a great1419 shaking7494 in5921 the land127 of Israel;3478
20 So that the fishes1709 of the sea,3220 and the fowls5775 of the heaven,8064 and the beasts2416 of the field,7704 and all3605 creeping things7431 that creep7430 upon5921 the earth,127 and all3605 the men120 that834 are upon5921 the face6440 of the earth,127 shall shake7493 at my presence,4480 6440 and the mountains2022 shall be thrown down,2040 and the steep places4095 shall fall,5307 and every3605 wall2346 shall fall5307 to the ground.776
21 And I will call for7121 a sword2719 against5921 him throughout all3605 my mountains,2022 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD:3069 every man's376 sword2719 shall be1961 against his brother.251
22 And I will plead8199 against854 him with pestilence1698 and with blood;1818 and I will rain4305 upon5921 him, and upon5921 his bands,102 and upon5921 the many7227 people5971 that834 are with854 him, an overflowing7857 rain,1653 and great hailstones,68 417 fire,784 and brimstone.1614
23 Thus will I magnify myself,1431 and sanctify myself;6942 and I will be known3045 in the eyes5869 of many7227 nations,1471 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
1 Therefore, thou859 son1121 of man,120 prophesy5012 against5921 Gog,1463 and say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I am against413 thee, O Gog,1463 the chief7218 prince5387 of Meshech4902 and Tubal:8422
2 And I will turn thee back,7725 and leave but the sixth part8338 of thee, and will cause thee to come up5927 from the north6828 parts,4480 3411 and will bring935 thee upon5921 the mountains2022 of Israel:3478
3 And I will smite5221 thy bow7198 out of thy left8040 hand,4480 3027 and will cause thine arrows2671 to fall5307 out of thy right3225 hand.4480 3027
4 Thou shalt fall5307 upon5921 the mountains2022 of Israel,3478 thou,859 and all3605 thy bands,102 and the people5971 that834 is with854 thee: I will give5414 thee unto the ravenous5861 birds6833 of every3605 sort,3671 and to the beasts2416 of the field7704 to be devoured.402
5 Thou shalt fall5307 upon5921 the open6440 field:7704 for3588 I589 have spoken1696 it, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
6 And I will send7971 a fire784 on Magog,4031 and among them that dwell3427 carelessly983 in the isles:339 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
7 So will I make3045 my holy6944 name8034 known3045 in the midst8432 of my people5971 Israel;3478 and I will not3808 let them pollute2490 853 my holy6944 name8034 any more:5750 and the heathen1471 shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 the Holy One6918 in Israel.3478
8 Behold,2009 it is come,935 and it is done,1961 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD;3069 this1931 is the day3117 whereof834 I have spoken.1696
9 And they that dwell3427 in the cities5892 of Israel3478 shall go forth,3318 and shall set on fire1197 and burn5400 the weapons,5402 both the shields4043 and the bucklers,6793 the bows7198 and the arrows,2671 and the handstaves,4731 3027 and the spears,7420 and they shall burn1197 them with fire784 seven7651 years:8141
10 So that they shall take5375 no3808 wood6086 out of4480 the field,7704 neither3808 cut down2404 any out of4480 the forests;3293 for3588 they shall burn1197 the weapons5402 with fire:784 and they shall spoil7997 853 those that spoiled7997 them, and rob962 853 those that robbed962 them, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
11 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that I will give5414 unto Gog1463 a place4725 there8033 of graves6913 in Israel,3478 the valley1516 of the passengers5674 on the east6926 of the sea:3220 and it1931 shall stop2629 853 the noses of the passengers:5674 and there8033 shall they bury6912 853 Gog1463 and all3605 his multitude:1995 and they shall call7121 it The valley1516 of Hamon-gog.1996
12 And seven7651 months2320 shall the house1004 of Israel3478 be burying6912 of them, that4616 they may cleanse2891 853 the land.776
13 Yea, all3605 the people5971 of the land776 shall bury6912 them; and it shall be1961 to them a renown8034 the day3117 that I shall be glorified,3513 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
14 And they shall sever out914 men376 of continual employment,8548 passing5674 through the land776 to bury6912 853 with the passengers5674 853 those that remain3498 upon5921 the face6440 of the earth,776 to cleanse2891 it: after the end4480 7097 of seven7651 months2320 shall they search.2713
15 And the passengers5674 that pass through5674 the land,776 when any seeth7200 a man's120 bone,6106 then shall he set up1129 a sign6725 by681 it, till5704 the buriers6912 have buried6912 it in413 the valley1516 of Hamon-gog.1996
16 And also1571 the name8034 of the city5892 shall be Hamonah.1997 Thus shall they cleanse2891 the land.776
17 And, thou859 son1121 of man,120 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Speak559 unto every3605 feathered3671 fowl,6833 and to every3605 beast2416 of the field,7704 Assemble yourselves,6908 and come;935 gather yourselves622 on every side4480 5439 to5921 my sacrifice2077 that834 I589 do sacrifice2076 for you, even a great1419 sacrifice2077 upon5921 the mountains2022 of Israel,3478 that ye may eat398 flesh,1320 and drink8354 blood.1818
18 Ye shall eat398 the flesh1320 of the mighty,1368 and drink8354 the blood1818 of the princes5387 of the earth,776 of rams,352 of lambs,3733 and of goats,6260 of bullocks,6499 all3605 of them fatlings4806 of Bashan.1316
19 And ye shall eat398 fat2459 till ye be full,7654 and drink8354 blood1818 till ye be drunken,7943 of my sacrifice4480 2077 which834 I have sacrificed2076 for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled7646 at5921 my table7979 with horses5483 and chariots,7393 with mighty men,1368 and with all3605 men376 of war,4421 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
21 And I will set5414 853 my glory3519 among the heathen,1471 and all3605 the heathen1471 shall see7200 853 my judgment4941 that834 I have executed,6213 and my hand3027 that834 I have laid7760 upon them.
22 So the house1004 of Israel3478 shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 their God430 from4480 that1931 day3117 and forward.1973
23 And the heathen1471 shall know3045 that3588 the house1004 of Israel3478 went into captivity1540 for their iniquity:5771 because5921 834 they trespassed4603 against me, therefore hid5641 I my face6440 from4480 them, and gave5414 them into the hand3027 of their enemies:6862 so fell5307 they all3605 by the sword.2719
24 According to their uncleanness2932 and according to their transgressions6588 have I done6213 unto them, and hid5641 my face6440 from4480 them.
25 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Now6258 will I bring again7725 853 the captivity7622 of Jacob,3290 and have mercy7355 upon the whole3605 house1004 of Israel,3478 and will be jealous7065 for my holy6944 name;8034
26 After that they have borne5375 853 their shame,3639 and all3605 their trespasses4604 whereby834 they have trespassed4603 against me, when they dwelt3427 safely983 in5921 their land,127 and none369 made them afraid.2729
27 When I have brought them again7725 853 from4480 the people,5971 and gathered6908 them out of their enemies'341 lands,4480 776 and am sanctified6942 in them in the sight5869 of many7227 nations;1471
28 Then shall they know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 their God,430 which caused them to be led into captivity1540 among413 the heathen:1471 but I have gathered3664 them unto5921 their own land,127 and have left3498 none3808 of4480 them any more5750 there.8033
29 Neither3808 will I hide5641 my face6440 any more5750 from4480 them: for834 I have poured out8210 853 my spirit7307 upon5921 the house1004 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
1 In the five2568 and twentieth6242 year8141 of our captivity,1546 in the beginning7218 of the year,8141 in the tenth6218 day of the month,2320 in the fourteenth702 6240 year8141 after310 that834 the city5892 was smitten,5221 in the selfsame2088 6106 day3117 the hand3027 of the LORD3068 was1961 upon5921 me, and brought935 me thither.8033
2 In the visions4759 of God430 brought935 he me into413 the land776 of Israel,3478 and set5117 me upon413 a very3966 high1364 mountain,2022 by5921 which was as the frame4011 of a city5892 on the south.4480 5045
3 And he brought935 me thither,8033 and, behold,2009 there was a man,376 whose appearance4758 was like the appearance4758 of brass,5178 with a line6616 of flax6593 in his hand,3027 and a measuring4060 reed;7070 and he1931 stood5975 in the gate.8179
4 And the man376 said1696 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 behold7200 with thine eyes,5869 and hear8085 with thine ears,241 and set7760 thine heart3820 upon all3605 that834 I589 shall show7200 thee; for3588 to the intent that4616 I might show7200 them unto thee art thou brought935 hither:2008 declare5046 853 all3605 that834 thou859 seest7200 to the house1004 of Israel.3478
5 And behold2009 a wall2346 on the outside4480 2351 of the house1004 round about,5439 5439 and in the man's376 hand3027 a measuring4060 reed7070 of six8337 cubits520 long by the cubit520 and a handbreadth:2948 so he measured4058 853 the breadth7341 of the building,1146 one259 reed;7070 and the height,6967 one259 reed.7070
6 Then came935 he unto413 the gate8179 which834 looketh6440 toward1870 the east,6921 and went up5927 the stairs4609 thereof, and measured4058 853 the threshold5592 of the gate,8179 which was one259 reed7070 broad;7341 and the other259 threshold5592 of the gate, which was one259 reed7070 broad.7341
7 And every little chamber8372 was one259 reed7070 long,753 and one259 reed7070 broad;7341 and between996 the little chambers8372 were five2568 cubits;520 and the threshold5592 of the gate8179 by4480 681 the porch197 of the gate8179 within1004 was one259 reed.7070
8 He measured4058 also 853 the porch197 of the gate8179 within,1004 one259 reed.7070
9 Then measured4058 he 853 the porch197 of the gate,8179 eight8083 cubits;520 and the posts352 thereof, two8147 cubits;520 and the porch197 of the gate8179 was inward.1004
10 And the little chambers8372 of the gate8179 eastward1870 6921 were three7969 on this side,4480 6311 and three7969 on that side;4480 6311 they three7969 were of one259 measure:4060 and the posts352 had one259 measure4060 on this side4480 6311 and on that side.4480 6311
11 And he measured4058 853 the breadth7341 of the entry6607 of the gate,8179 ten6235 cubits;520 and the length753 of the gate,8179 thirteen7969 6240 cubits.520
12 The space1366 also before6440 the little chambers8372 was one259 cubit520 on this side, and the space1366 was one259 cubit520 on that side:4480 6311 and the little chambers8372 were six8337 cubits520 on this side,4480 6311 and six8337 cubits520 on that side.4480 6311
13 He measured4058 then 853 the gate8179 from the roof4480 1406 of one little chamber8372 to the roof1406 of another: the breadth7341 was five2568 and twenty6242 cubits,520 door6607 against5048 door.6607
14 He made6213 also 853 posts352 of threescore8346 cubits,520 even unto413 the post352 of the court2691 round about5439 5439 the gate.8179
15 And from5921 the face6440 of the gate8179 of the entrance2978 unto5921 the face6440 of the porch197 of the inner6442 gate8179 were fifty2572 cubits.520
16 And there were narrow331 windows2474 to413 the little chambers,8372 and to413 their posts352 within6441 the gate8179 round about,5439 5439 and likewise3651 to the porches:361 and windows2474 were round about5439 5439 inward:6441 and upon413 each post352 were palm trees.8561
17 Then brought935 he me into413 the outward2435 court,2691 and, lo,2009 there were chambers,3957 and a pavement7531 made6213 for the court2691 round about:5439 5439 thirty7970 chambers3957 were upon413 the pavement.7531
18 And the pavement7531 by413 the side3802 of the gates8179 over against5980 the length753 of the gates8179 was the lower8481 pavement.7531
19 Then he measured4058 the breadth7341 from the forefront4480 6440 of the lower8481 gate8179 unto the forefront6440 of the inner6442 court2691 without,4480 2351 a hundred3967 cubits520 eastward6921 and northward.6828
20 And the gate8179 of the outward2435 court2691 that834 looked6440 toward1870 the north,6828 he measured4058 the length753 thereof, and the breadth7341 thereof.
21 And the little chambers8372 thereof were three7969 on this side4480 6311 and three7969 on that side;4480 6311 and the posts352 thereof and the porches361 thereof were1961 after the measure4060 of the first7223 gate:8179 the length753 thereof was fifty2572 cubits,520 and the breadth7341 five2568 and twenty6242 cubits.520
22 And their windows,2474 and their porches,361 and their palm trees,8561 were after the measure4060 of the gate8179 that834 looketh6440 toward1870 the east;6921 and they went up5927 unto it by seven7651 steps;4609 and the porches361 thereof were before6440 them.
23 And the gate8179 of the inner6442 court2691 was over against5048 the gate8179 toward the north,6828 and toward the east;6921 and he measured4058 from gate4480 8179 to413 gate8179 a hundred3967 cubits.520
24 After that he brought1980 me toward1870 the south,1864 and behold2009 a gate8179 toward1870 the south:1864 and he measured4058 the posts352 thereof and the porches361 thereof according to these428 measures.4060
25 And there were windows2474 in it and in the porches361 thereof round about,5439 5439 like those428 windows:2474 the length753 was fifty2572 cubits,520 and the breadth7341 five2568 and twenty6242 cubits.520
26 And there were seven7651 steps4609 to go up5930 to it, and the porches361 thereof were before6440 them: and it had palm trees,8561 one259 on this side,4480 6311 and another259 on that side,4480 6311 upon413 the posts352 thereof.
27 And there was a gate8179 in the inner6442 court2691 toward1870 the south:1864 and he measured4058 from gate4480 8179 to413 gate8179 toward1870 the south1864 a hundred3967 cubits.520
28 And he brought935 me to413 the inner6442 court2691 by the south1864 gate:8179 and he measured4058 853 the south1864 gate8179 according to these428 measures;4060
29 And the little chambers8372 thereof, and the posts352 thereof, and the porches361 thereof, according to these428 measures:4060 and there were windows2474 in it and in the porches361 thereof round about:5439 5439 it was fifty2572 cubits520 long,753 and five2568 and twenty6242 cubits520 broad.7341
30 And the porches361 round about5439 5439 were five2568 and twenty6242 cubits520 long,753 and five2568 cubits520 broad.7341
31 And the porches361 thereof were toward413 the utter2435 court;2691 and palm trees8561 were upon413 the posts352 thereof: and the going up4608 to it had eight8083 steps.4609
32 And he brought935 me into413 the inner6442 court2691 toward1870 the east:6921 and he measured4058 853 the gate8179 according to these428 measures.4060
33 And the little chambers8372 thereof, and the posts352 thereof, and the porches361 thereof, were according to these428 measures:4060 and there were windows2474 therein and in the porches361 thereof round about:5439 5439 it was fifty2572 cubits520 long,753 and five2568 and twenty6242 cubits520 broad.7341
34 And the porches361 thereof were toward the outward2435 court;2691 and palm trees8561 were upon413 the posts352 thereof, on this side,4480 6311 and on that side:4480 6311 and the going up4608 to it had eight8083 steps.4609
35 And he brought935 me to413 the north6828 gate,8179 and measured4058 it according to these428 measures;4060
36 The little chambers8372 thereof, the posts352 thereof, and the porches361 thereof, and the windows2474 to it round about:5439 5439 the length753 was fifty2572 cubits,520 and the breadth7341 five2568 and twenty6242 cubits.520
37 And the posts352 thereof were toward the utter2435 court;2691 and palm trees8561 were upon413 the posts352 thereof, on this side,4480 6311 and on that side:4480 6311 and the going up4608 to it had eight8083 steps.4609
38 And the chambers3957 and the entries6607 thereof were by the posts352 of the gates,8179 where8033 they washed1740 853 the burnt offering.5930
39 And in the porch197 of the gate8179 were two8147 tables7979 on this side,4480 6311 and two8147 tables7979 on that side,4480 6311 to slay7819 thereon413 the burnt offering5930 and the sin offering2403 and the trespass offering.817
40 And at413 the side3802 without,4480 2351 as one goeth up5927 to the entry6607 of the north6828 gate,8179 were two8147 tables;7979 and on413 the other312 side,3802 which834 was at the porch197 of the gate,8179 were two8147 tables.7979
41 Four702 tables7979 were on this side,4480 6311 and four702 tables7979 on that side,4480 6311 by the side3802 of the gate;8179 eight8083 tables,7979 whereupon413 they slew7819 their sacrifices.
42 And the four702 tables7979 were of hewn1496 stone68 for the burnt offering,5930 of a259 cubit520 and a259 half2677 long,753 and a cubit520 and a half2677 broad,7341 and one259 cubit520 high:1363 whereupon413 also they laid5117 853 the instruments3627 wherewith834 they slew7819 853 the burnt offering5930 and the sacrifice.2077
43 And within1004 were hooks,8240 a259 hand broad,2948 fastened3559 round about:5439 5439 and upon413 the tables7979 was the flesh1320 of the offering.7133
44 And without4480 2351 the inner6442 gate8179 were the chambers3957 of the singers7891 in the inner6442 court,2691 which834 was at413 the side3802 of the north6828 gate;8179 and their prospect6440 was toward1870 the south:1864 one259 at413 the side3802 of the east6921 gate8179 having the prospect6440 toward1870 the north.6828
45 And he said1696 unto413 me, This2090 chamber,3957 whose834 prospect6440 is toward1870 the south,1864 is for the priests,3548 the keepers8104 of the charge4931 of the house.1004
46 And the chamber3957 whose834 prospect6440 is toward1870 the north6828 is for the priests,3548 the keepers8104 of the charge4931 of the altar:4196 these1992 are the sons1121 of Zadok6659 among the sons4480 1121 of Levi,3878 which come near7131 to413 the LORD3068 to minister8334 unto him.
47 So he measured4058 853 the court,2691 a hundred3967 cubits520 long,753 and a hundred3967 cubits520 broad,7341 foursquare;7251 and the altar4196 that was before6440 the house.1004
48 And he brought935 me to413 the porch197 of the house,1004 and measured4058 each post352 of the porch,197 five2568 cubits520 on this side,4480 6311 and five2568 cubits520 on that side:4480 6311 and the breadth7341 of the gate8179 was three7969 cubits520 on this side,4480 6311 and three7969 cubits520 on that side.4480 6311
49 The length753 of the porch197 was twenty6242 cubits,520 and the breadth7341 eleven6249 6240 cubits;520 and he brought me by the steps4609 whereby834 they went up5927 to413 it: and there were pillars5982 by413 the posts,352 one259 on this side,4480 6311 and another259 on that side.4480 6311
1 Afterward he brought935 me to413 the temple,1964 and measured4058 853 the posts,352 six8337 cubits520 broad7341 on the one side,4480 6311 and six8337 cubits520 broad7341 on the other side,4480 6311 which was the breadth7341 of the tabernacle.168
2 And the breadth7341 of the door6607 was ten6235 cubits;520 and the sides3802 of the door6607 were five2568 cubits520 on the one side,4480 6311 and five2568 cubits520 on the other side:4480 6311 and he measured4058 the length753 thereof, forty705 cubits:520 and the breadth,7341 twenty6242 cubits.520
3 Then went935 he inward,6441 and measured4058 the post352 of the door,6607 two8147 cubits;520 and the door,6607 six8337 cubits;520 and the breadth7341 of the door,6607 seven7651 cubits.520
4 So he measured4058 853 the length753 thereof, twenty6242 cubits;520 and the breadth,7341 twenty6242 cubits,520 before413 6440 the temple:1964 and he said559 unto413 me, This2088 is the most holy6944 6944 place.
5 After he measured4058 the wall7023 of the house,1004 six8337 cubits;520 and the breadth7341 of every side chamber,6763 four702 cubits,520 round about5439 5439 the house1004 on every side.5439
6 And the side chambers6763 were three,7969 one6763 over413 another,6763 and thirty7970 in order;6471 and they entered935 into the wall7023 which834 was of the house1004 for the side chambers6763 round about,5439 5439 that they might have1961 hold,270 but they had1961 not3808 hold270 in the wall7023 of the house.1004
7 And there was an enlarging,7337 and a winding about5437 still upward4605 4605 to the side chambers:6763 for3588 the winding about4141 of the house1004 went still upward4605 4605 round about5439 5439 the house:1004 therefore5921 3651 the breadth7341 of the house1004 was still upward,4605 and so3651 increased5927 from the lowest8481 chamber to5921 the highest5945 by the midst.8484
8 I saw7200 also the height1363 of the house1004 round about:5439 5439 the foundations4328 of the side chambers6763 were a full4393 reed7070 of six8337 great679 cubits.520
9 The thickness7341 of the wall,7023 which834 was for the side chamber6763 without,2351 was five2568 cubits:520 and that which834 was left5117 was the place1004 of the side chambers6763 that834 were within.1004
10 And between996 the chambers3957 was the width7341 of twenty6242 cubits520 round about5439 the house1004 on every side.5439 5439
11 And the doors6607 of the side chambers6763 were toward the place that was left,5117 one259 door6607 toward1870 the north,6828 and another259 door6607 toward the south:1864 and the breadth7341 of the place4725 that was left5117 was five2568 cubits520 round about.5439 5439
12 Now the building1146 that834 was before413 6440 the separate place1508 at the end6285 toward1870 the west3220 was seventy7657 cubits520 broad;7341 and the wall7023 of the building1146 was five2568 cubits520 thick7341 round about,5439 5439 and the length753 thereof ninety8673 cubits.520
13 So he measured4058 853 the house,1004 a hundred3967 cubits520 long;753 and the separate place,1508 and the building,1140 with the walls7023 thereof, a hundred3967 cubits520 long;753
14 Also the breadth7341 of the face6440 of the house,1004 and of the separate place1508 toward the east,6921 a hundred3967 cubits.520
15 And he measured4058 the length753 of the building1146 over against413 6440 the separate place1508 which834 was behind5921 310 it, and the galleries862 thereof on the one side4480 6311 and on the other side,4480 6311 a hundred3967 cubits,520 with the inner6442 temple,1964 and the porches197 of the court;2691
16 The door posts,5592 and the narrow331 windows,2474 and the galleries862 round about5439 on their three stories,7969 over against5048 the door,5592 ceiled7824 with wood6086 round about,5439 5439 and from the ground776 up to5704 the windows,2474 and the windows2474 were covered;3680
17 To5921 that above4480 5921 the door,6607 even unto5704 the inner6442 house,1004 and without,2351 and by413 all3605 the wall7023 round about5439 5439 within6442 and without,2435 by measure.4060
18 And it was made6213 with cherubims3742 and palm trees,8561 so that a palm tree8561 was between996 a cherub3742 and a cherub;3742 and every cherub3742 had two8147 faces;6440
19 So that the face6440 of a man120 was toward413 the palm tree8561 on the one side,4480 6311 and the face6440 of a young lion3715 toward413 the palm tree8561 on the other side:4480 6311 it was made6213 through413 all3605 the house1004 round about.5439 5439
20 From the ground776 unto5704 above4480 5921 the door6607 were cherubims3742 and palm trees8561 made,6213 and on the wall7023 of the temple.1964
21 The posts4201 of the temple1964 were squared,7251 and the face6440 of the sanctuary;6944 the appearance4758 of the one as the appearance4758 of the other.
22 The altar4196 of wood6086 was three7969 cubits520 high,1364 and the length753 thereof two8147 cubits;520 and the corners4740 thereof, and the length753 thereof, and the walls7023 thereof, were of wood:6086 and he said1696 unto413 me, This2088 is the table7979 that834 is before6440 the LORD.3068
23 And the temple1964 and the sanctuary6944 had two8147 doors.1817
24 And the doors1817 had two8147 leaves1817 apiece, two8147 turning4142 leaves;1817 two8147 leaves for the one259 door,1817 and two8147 leaves1817 for the other312 door.
25 And there were made6213 on413 them, on413 the doors1817 of the temple,1964 cherubims3742 and palm trees,8561 like as834 were made6213 upon the walls;7023 and there were thick5645 planks6086 upon413 the face6440 of the porch197 without.2351
26 And there were narrow331 windows2474 and palm trees8561 on the one side4480 6311 and on the other side,4480 6311 on413 the sides3802 of the porch,197 and upon the side chambers6763 of the house,1004 and thick planks.5646
1 Then he brought me forth3318 into413 the utter2435 court,2691 the way1870 toward1870 the north:6828 and he brought935 me into413 the chamber3957 that834 was over against5048 the separate place,1508 and which834 was before5048 the building1146 toward413 the north.6828
2 Before413 6440 the length753 of a hundred3967 cubits520 was the north6828 door,6607 and the breadth7341 was fifty2572 cubits.520
3 Over against5048 the twenty6242 cubits which834 were for the inner6442 court,2691 and, over against5048 the pavement7531 which834 was for the utter2435 court,2691 was gallery862 against413 6440 gallery862 in three7992 stories.
4 And before6440 the chambers3957 was a walk4109 of ten6235 cubits520 breadth7341 inward,6442 a way1870 of one259 cubit;520 and their doors6607 toward the north.6828
5 Now the upper5945 chambers3957 were shorter:7114 for3588 the galleries862 were higher3201 than these,4480 2007 than the lower,4480 8481 and than the middlemost4480 8484 of the building.1146
6 For3588 they2007 were in three8027 stories, but had not369 pillars5982 as the pillars5982 of the courts:2691 therefore5921 3651 the building was straitened680 more than the lowest4480 8481 and the middlemost8484 from the ground.4480 776
7 And the wall1447 that834 was without2351 over against5980 the chambers,3957 toward1870 the utter2435 court2691 on413 the forepart6440 of the chambers,3957 the length753 thereof was fifty2572 cubits.520
8 For3588 the length753 of the chambers3957 that834 were in the utter2435 court2691 was fifty2572 cubits:520 and, lo,2009 before5921 6440 the temple1964 were a hundred3967 cubits.520
9 And from under4480 8478 these428 chambers3957 was the entry3996 on the east side,4480 6921 as one goeth935 into them2007 from the utter court.2691 2435
10 The chambers3957 were in the thickness7341 of the wall1444 of the court2691 toward1870 the east,6921 over against413 6440 the separate place,1508 and over against413 6440 the building.1146
11 And the way1870 before6440 them was like the appearance4758 of the chambers3957 which834 were toward1870 the north,6828 as long753 as they, and as3651 broad7341 as they: and all3605 their goings out4161 were both according to their fashions,4941 and according to their doors.6607
12 And according to the doors6607 of the chambers3957 that834 were toward1870 the south1864 was a door6607 in the head7218 of the way,1870 even the way1870 directly1903 before6440 the wall1448 toward1870 the east,6921 as one entereth935 into them.
13 Then said559 he unto413 me, The north6828 chambers3957 and the south1864 chambers,3957 which834 are before413 6440 the separate place,1508 they2007 be holy6944 chambers,3957 where834 8033 the priests3548 that834 approach7138 unto the LORD3068 shall eat398 the most holy things:6944 6944 there8033 shall they lay5117 the most holy things,6944 6944 and the meat offering,4503 and the sin offering,2403 and the trespass offering;817 for3588 the place4725 is holy.6918
14 When the priests3548 enter935 therein, then shall they not3808 go out3318 of the holy4480 6944 place into413 the utter2435 court,2691 but there8033 they shall lay5117 their garments899 wherein834 they minister;8334 for3588 they2007 are holy;6944 and shall put on3847 other312 garments,899 and shall approach7126 to413 those things which834 are for the people.5971
15 Now when he had made an end3615 of 853 measuring4060 the inner6442 house,1004 he brought me forth3318 toward1870 the gate8179 whose834 prospect6440 is toward1870 the east,6921 and measured4058 it round about.5439 5439
16 He measured4058 the east6921 side7307 with the measuring4060 reed,7070 five2568 hundred3967 reeds,7070 with the measuring4060 reed7070 round about.5439
17 He measured4058 the north6828 side,7307 five2568 hundred3967 reeds,7070 with the measuring4060 reed7070 round about.5439
18 He measured4058 853 the south1864 side,7307 five2568 hundred3967 reeds,7070 with the measuring4060 reed.7070
19 He turned about5437 to413 the west3220 side,7307 and measured4058 five2568 hundred3967 reeds7070 with the measuring4060 reed.7070
20 He measured4058 it by the four702 sides:7307 it had a wall2346 round about,5439 5439 five2568 hundred3967 reeds long,753 and five2568 hundred3967 broad,7341 to make a separation914 between996 the sanctuary6944 and the profane place.2455
1 Afterward he brought1980 me to413 the gate,8179 even the gate8179 that834 looketh6437 toward1870 the east:6921
2 And, behold,2009 the glory3519 of the God430 of Israel3478 came935 from the way4480 1870 of the east:6921 and his voice6963 was like a noise6963 of many7227 waters:4325 and the earth776 shined215 with his glory.4480 3519
3 And it was according to the appearance4758 of the vision4758 which834 I saw,7200 even according to the vision4758 that834 I saw7200 when I came935 to destroy7843 853 the city:5892 and the visions4759 were like the vision4758 that834 I saw7200 by413 the river5104 Chebar;3529 and I fell5307 upon413 my face.6440
4 And the glory3519 of the LORD3068 came935 into413 the house1004 by the way1870 of the gate8179 whose834 prospect6440 is toward1870 the east.6921
5 So the spirit7307 took me up,5375 and brought935 me into413 the inner6442 court;2691 and, behold,2009 the glory3519 of the LORD3068 filled4390 the house.1004
6 And I heard8085 him speaking1696 unto413 me out of the house;4480 1004 and the man376 stood1961 5975 by681 me.
7 And he said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 853 the place4725 of my throne,3678 and the place4725 of the soles3709 of my feet,7272 where834 8033 I will dwell7931 in the midst8432 of the children1121 of Israel3478 forever,5769 and my holy6944 name,8034 shall the house1004 of Israel3478 no3808 more5750 defile,2930 neither they,1992 nor their kings,4428 by their whoredom,2184 nor by the carcasses6297 of their kings4428 in their high places.1116
8 In their setting5414 of their threshold5592 by854 my thresholds,5592 and their post4201 by681 my posts,4201 and the wall7023 between996 me and them, they have even defiled2930 853 my holy6944 name8034 by their abominations8441 that834 they have committed:6213 wherefore I have consumed398 them in mine anger.639
9 Now6258 let them put away7368 853 their whoredom,2184 and the carcasses6297 of their kings,4428 far from4480 me, and I will dwell7931 in the midst8432 of them forever.5769
10 Thou859 son1121 of man,120 show5046 853 the house1004 853 to the house1004 of Israel,3478 that they may be ashamed3637 of their iniquities:4480 5771 and let them measure4058 853 the pattern.8508
11 And if518 they be ashamed3637 of all4480 3605 that834 they have done,6213 show3045 them the form6699 of the house,1004 and the fashion8498 thereof, and the goings out4161 thereof, and the comings in4126 thereof, and all3605 the forms6699 thereof, and all3605 the ordinances2708 thereof, and all3605 the forms6699 thereof, and all3605 the laws8451 thereof: and write3789 it in their sight,5869 that they may keep8104 853 the whole3605 form6699 thereof, and all3605 the ordinances2708 thereof, and do6213 them.
12 This2063 is the law8451 of the house;1004 Upon5921 the top7218 of the mountain2022 the whole3605 limit1366 thereof round about5439 5439 shall be most holy.6944 6944 Behold,2009 this2063 is the law8451 of the house.1004
13 And these428 are the measures4060 of the altar4196 after the cubits:520 The cubit520 is a cubit520 and a handbreadth;2948 even the bottom2436 shall be a cubit,520 and the breadth7341 a cubit,520 and the border1366 thereof by413 the edge8193 thereof round about5439 shall be a259 span:2239 and this2088 shall be the higher place1354 of the altar.4196
14 And from the bottom4480 2436 upon the ground776 even to5704 the lower8481 settle5835 shall be two8147 cubits,520 and the breadth7341 one259 cubit;520 and from the lesser settle4480 5835 6996 even to5704 the greater1419 settle5835 shall be four702 cubits,520 and the breadth7341 one cubit.520
15 So the altar2025 shall be four702 cubits;520 and from the altar4480 741 and upward4605 shall be four702 horns.7161
16 And the altar741 shall be twelve8147 6240 cubits long,753 twelve8147 6240 broad,7341 square7251 in413 the four702 squares7253 thereof.
17 And the settle5835 shall be fourteen702 6240 cubits long753 and fourteen702 6240 broad7341 in413 the four702 squares7253 thereof; and the border1366 about5439 it shall be half2677 a cubit;520 and the bottom2436 thereof shall be a cubit520 about;5439 and his stairs4609 shall look6437 toward the east.6921
18 And he said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 These428 are the ordinances2708 of the altar4196 in the day3117 when they shall make6213 it, to offer5927 burnt offerings5930 thereon,5921 and to sprinkle2236 blood1818 thereon.5921
19 And thou shalt give5414 to413 the priests3548 the Levites3881 that834 be of the seed4480 2233 of Zadok,6659 which approach7138 unto413 me, to minister8334 unto me, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 a young1121 1241 bullock6499 for a sin offering.2403
20 And thou shalt take3947 of the blood4480 1818 thereof, and put5414 it on5921 the four702 horns7161 of it, and on413 the four702 corners6438 of the settle,5835 and upon413 the border1366 round about:5439 thus shalt thou cleanse2398 and purge3722 it.
21 Thou shalt take3947 853 the bullock6499 also of the sin offering,2403 and he shall burn8313 it in the appointed place4662 of the house,1004 without4480 2351 the sanctuary.4720
22 And on the second8145 day3117 thou shalt offer7126 a kid8163 of the goats5795 without blemish8549 for a sin offering;2403 and they shall cleanse2398 853 the altar,4196 as834 they did cleanse2398 it with the bullock.6499
23 When thou hast made an end3615 of cleansing4480 2398 it, thou shalt offer7126 a young1121 1241 bullock6499 without blemish,8549 and a ram352 out of4480 the flock6629 without blemish.8549
24 And thou shalt offer7126 them before6440 the LORD,3068 and the priests3548 shall cast7993 salt4417 upon5921 them, and they shall offer them up5927 853 for a burnt offering5930 unto the LORD.3068
25 Seven7651 days3117 shalt thou prepare6213 every day3117 a goat8163 for a sin offering:2403 they shall also prepare6213 a young1121 1241 bullock,6499 and a ram352 out of4480 the flock,6629 without blemish.8549
26 Seven7651 days3117 shall they purge3722 853 the altar4196 and purify2891 it; and they shall consecrate4390 3027 themselves.
27 And when 853 these days3117 are expired,3615 it shall be,1961 that upon the eighth8066 day,3117 and so forward,1973 the priests3548 shall make6213 853 your burnt offerings5930 upon5921 the altar,4196 and your peace offerings;8002 and I will accept7521 you, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
1 Then he brought me back7725 853 the way1870 of the gate8179 of the outward2435 sanctuary4720 which looketh6437 toward the east;6921 and it1931 was shut.5462
2 Then said559 the LORD3068 unto413 me; This2088 gate8179 shall be1961 shut,5462 it shall not3808 be opened,6605 and no3808 man376 shall enter in935 by it; because3588 the LORD,3068 the God430 of Israel,3478 hath entered in935 by it, therefore it shall be1961 shut.5462
3 It is 853 for the prince;5387 the prince,5387 he1931 shall sit3427 in it to eat398 bread3899 before6440 the LORD;3068 he shall enter935 by the way4480 1870 of the porch197 of that gate,8179 and shall go out3318 by the way4480 1870 of the same.
4 Then brought935 he me the way1870 of the north6828 gate8179 before413 6440 the house:1004 and I looked,7200 and, behold,2009 the glory3519 of the LORD3068 filled4390 853 the house1004 of the LORD:3068 and I fell5307 upon413 my face.6440
5 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 mark well,7760 3820 and behold7200 with thine eyes,5869 and hear8085 with thine ears241 853 all3605 that834 I589 say1696 unto thee concerning all3605 the ordinances2708 of the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and all3605 the laws8451 thereof; and mark well7760 3820 the entering in3996 of the house,1004 with every3605 going forth4161 of the sanctuary.4720
6 And thou shalt say559 to413 the rebellious,4805 even to413 the house1004 of Israel,3478 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 O ye house1004 of Israel,3478 let it suffice7227 you of4480 all3605 your abominations,8441
7 In that ye have brought935 into my sanctuary strangers,1121 5236 uncircumcised6189 in heart,3820 and uncircumcised6189 in flesh,1320 to be1961 in my sanctuary,4720 to pollute2490 it, even 853 my house,1004 when ye offer7126 853 my bread,3899 the fat2459 and the blood,1818 and they have broken6565 853 my covenant1285 because of413 all3605 your abominations.8441
8 And ye have not3808 kept8104 the charge4931 of mine holy things:6944 but ye have set7760 keepers8104 of my charge4931 in my sanctuary4720 for yourselves.
9 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 No3808 3605 stranger,1121 5236 uncircumcised6189 in heart,3820 nor uncircumcised6189 in flesh,1320 shall enter935 into413 my sanctuary,4720 of any3605 stranger1121 5236 that834 is among8432 the children1121 of Israel.3478
10 And3588 518 the Levites3881 that834 are gone away far7368 from4480 5921 me, when Israel3478 went astray,8582 which834 went astray8582 away from4480 5921 me after310 their idols;1544 they shall even bear5375 their iniquity.5771
11 Yet they shall be1961 ministers8334 in my sanctuary,4720 having charge6486 at413 the gates8179 of the house,1004 and ministering8334 853 to the house:1004 they1992 shall slay7819 853 the burnt offering5930 and the sacrifice2077 for the people,5971 and they1992 shall stand5975 before6440 them to minister8334 unto them.
12 Because3282 834 they ministered unto8334 853 them before6440 their idols,1544 and caused1961 the house1004 of Israel3478 to fall4383 into iniquity;5771 therefore5921 3651 have I lifted up5375 mine hand3027 against5921 them, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 and they shall bear5375 their iniquity.5771
13 And they shall not3808 come near5066 unto413 me, to do the office of a priest3547 unto me, nor to come near5066 to5921 any3605 of my holy things,6944 in413 the most holy6944 6944 place: but they shall bear5375 their shame,3639 and their abominations8441 which834 they have committed.6213
14 But I will make5414 them keepers8104 of the charge4931 of the house,1004 for all3605 the service5656 thereof, and for all3605 that834 shall be done6213 therein.
15 But the priests3548 the Levites,3881 the sons1121 of Zadok,6659 that834 kept8104 853 the charge4931 of my sanctuary4720 when the children1121 of Israel3478 went astray8582 from4480 5921 me, they1992 shall come near7126 to413 me to minister8334 unto me, and they shall stand5975 before6440 me to offer7126 unto me the fat2459 and the blood,1818 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD:3069
16 They1992 shall enter935 into413 my sanctuary,4720 and they1992 shall come near7126 to413 my table,7979 to minister8334 unto me, and they shall keep8104 853 my charge.4931
17 And it shall come to pass,1961 that when they enter in935 at413 the gates8179 of the inner6442 court,2691 they shall be clothed with3847 linen6593 garments;899 and no3808 wool6785 shall come5927 upon5921 them, while they minister8334 in the gates8179 of the inner6442 court,2691 and within.1004
18 They shall have1961 linen6593 bonnets6287 upon5921 their heads,7218 and shall have1961 linen6593 breeches4370 upon5921 their loins;4975 they shall not3808 gird2296 themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.3154
19 And when they go forth3318 into413 the utter2435 court,2691 even into413 the utter2435 court2691 to413 the people,5971 they shall put off6584 853 their garments899 wherein834 they1992 ministered,8334 and lay5117 them in the holy6944 chambers,3957 and they shall put on3847 other312 garments;899 and they shall not3808 sanctify6942 853 the people5971 with their garments.899
20 Neither3808 shall they shave1548 their heads,7218 nor3808 suffer their locks6545 to grow long;7971 they shall only poll3697 3697 853 their heads.7218
21 Neither3808 shall any3605 priest3548 drink8354 wine,3196 when they enter935 into413 the inner6442 court.2691
22 Neither3808 shall they take3947 for their wives802 a widow,490 nor her that is put away:1644 but3588 518 they shall take3947 maidens1330 of the seed4480 2233 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 or a widow490 that834 had1961 a priest4480 3548 before.
23 And they shall teach3384 my people5971 the difference between996 the holy6944 and profane,2455 and cause them to discern3045 between996 the unclean2931 and the clean.2889
24 And in5921 controversy7379 they1992 shall stand5975 in judgment;8199 and they shall judge8199 it according to my judgments:4941 and they shall keep8104 my laws8451 and my statutes2708 in all3605 mine assemblies;4150 and they shall hallow6942 my sabbaths.7676
25 And they shall come935 at413 no3808 dead4191 person120 to defile2930 themselves: but3588 518 for father,1 or for mother,517 or for son,1121 or for daughter,1323 for brother,251 or for sister269 that834 hath had1961 no3808 husband,376 they may defile themselves.2930
26 And after310 he is cleansed,2893 they shall reckon5608 unto him seven7651 days.3117
27 And in the day3117 that he goeth935 into413 the sanctuary,6944 unto413 the inner6442 court,2691 to minister8334 in the sanctuary,6944 he shall offer7126 his sin offering,2403 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
28 And it shall be1961 unto them for an inheritance:5159 I589 am their inheritance:5159 and ye shall give5414 them no3808 possession272 in Israel:3478 I589 am their possession.272
29 They1992 shall eat398 the meat offering,4503 and the sin offering,2403 and the trespass offering;817 and every3605 dedicated thing2764 in Israel3478 shall be1961 theirs.
30 And the first7225 of all3605 the firstfruits1061 of all3605 things, and every3605 oblation8641 of all,3605 of every4480 3605 sort of your oblations,8641 shall be1961 the priest's:3548 ye shall also give5414 unto the priest3548 the first7225 of your dough,6182 that he may cause the blessing1293 to rest5117 in413 thine house.1004
31 The priests3548 shall not3808 eat398 of any thing3605 that is dead of itself,5038 or torn,2966 whether4480 it be fowl5775 or4480 beast.929
1 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot5307 853 the land776 for inheritance,5159 ye shall offer7311 an oblation8641 unto the LORD,3068 a holy portion6944 of4480 the land:776 the length753 shall be the length753 of five2568 and twenty6242 thousand505 reeds, and the breadth7341 shall be ten6235 thousand.505 This1931 shall be holy6944 in all3605 the borders1366 thereof round about.5439
2 Of this4480 2088 there shall be1961 for413 the sanctuary6944 five2568 hundred3967 in length, with five2568 hundred3967 in breadth, square7251 round about;5439 and fifty2572 cubits520 round about5439 for the suburbs4054 thereof.
3 And of4480 this2063 measure4060 shalt thou measure4058 the length753 of five2568 and twenty6242 thousand,505 and the breadth7341 of ten6235 thousand:505 and in it shall be1961 the sanctuary4720 and the most holy6944 6944 place.
4 The holy6944 portion of4480 the land776 shall be1961 for the priests3548 the ministers8334 of the sanctuary,4720 which shall come near7131 to minister unto8334 853 the LORD:3068 and it shall be1961 a place4725 for their houses,1004 and a holy place4720 for the sanctuary.4720
5 And the five2568 and twenty6242 thousand505 of length,753 and the ten6235 thousand505 of breadth,7341 shall also the Levites,3881 the ministers8334 of the house,1004 have1961 for themselves, for a possession272 for twenty6242 chambers.3957
6 And ye shall appoint5414 the possession272 of the city5892 five2568 thousand505 broad,7341 and five2568 and twenty6242 thousand505 long,753 over against5980 the oblation8641 of the holy6944 portion: it shall be1961 for the whole3605 house1004 of Israel.3478
7 And a portion shall be for the prince5387 on the one side4480 2088 and on the other side4480 2088 of the oblation8641 of the holy6944 portion, and of the possession272 of the city,5892 before413 6440 the oblation8641 of the holy6944 portion, and before413 6440 the possession272 of the city,5892 from the west3220 side4480 6285 westward,3220 and from the east6924 side4480 6285 eastward:6921 and the length753 shall be over against5980 one259 of the portions,2506 from the west3220 border4480 1366 unto413 the east6921 border.1366
8 In the land776 shall be1961 his possession272 in Israel:3478 and my princes5387 shall no3808 more5750 oppress3238 853 my people;5971 and the rest of the land776 shall they give5414 to the house1004 of Israel3478 according to their tribes.7626
9 Thus3541 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Let it suffice7227 you, O princes5387 of Israel:3478 remove5493 violence2555 and spoil,7701 and execute6213 judgment4941 and justice,6666 take away7311 your exactions1646 from4480 5921 my people,5971 saith559 the Lord136 GOD.3069
10 Ye shall have1961 just6664 balances,3976 and a just6664 ephah,374 and a just6664 bath.1324
11 The ephah374 and the bath1324 shall be1961 of one259 measure,8506 that the bath1324 may contain5375 the tenth part4643 of a homer,2563 and the ephah374 the tenth part6224 of a homer:2563 the measure4971 thereof shall be1961 after413 the homer.2563
12 And the shekel8255 shall be twenty6242 gerahs:1626 twenty6242 shekels,8255 five2568 and twenty6242 shekels,8255 fifteen2568 6240 shekels,8255 shall be1961 your mina.4488
13 This2063 is the oblation8641 that834 ye shall offer;7311 the sixth part8345 of an ephah374 of a homer4480 2563 of wheat,2406 and ye shall give the sixth part8341 of an ephah374 of a homer4480 2563 of barley:8184
14 Concerning the ordinance2706 of oil,8081 the bath1324 of oil,8081 ye shall offer the tenth part4643 of a bath1324 out of4480 the kor,3734 which is a homer2563 of ten6235 baths;1324 for3588 ten6235 baths1324 are a homer:2563
15 And one259 lamb7716 out of4480 the flock,6629 out of4480 two hundred,3967 out of the fat pastures4480 4945 of Israel;3478 for a meat offering,4503 and for a burnt offering,5930 and for peace offerings,8002 to make reconciliation3722 for5921 them, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
16 All3605 the people5971 of the land776 shall give1961 413 this2063 oblation8641 for the prince5387 in Israel.3478
17 And it shall be1961 the prince's part5921 5387 to give burnt offerings,5930 and meat offerings,4503 and drink offerings,5262 in the feasts,2282 and in the new moons,2320 and in the sabbaths,7676 in all3605 solemnities4150 of the house1004 of Israel:3478 he1931 shall prepare6213 853 the sin offering,2403 and the meat offering,4503 and the burnt offering,5930 and the peace offerings,8002 to make reconciliation3722 for1157 the house1004 of Israel.3478
18 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 In the first7223 month, in the first259 day of the month,2320 thou shalt take3947 a young1121 1241 bullock6499 without blemish,8549 and cleanse2398 853 the sanctuary:4720
19 And the priest3548 shall take3947 of the blood4480 1818 of the sin offering,2403 and put5414 it upon413 the posts4201 of the house,1004 and upon413 the four702 corners6438 of the settle5835 of the altar,4196 and upon5921 the posts4201 of the gate8179 of the inner6442 court.2691
20 And so3651 thou shalt do6213 the seventh7651 day of the month2320 for every one4480 376 that erreth,7686 and for him that is simple:4480 6612 so shall ye reconcile3722 853 the house.1004
21 In the first7223 month, in the fourteenth702 6240 day3117 of the month,2320 ye shall have1961 the passover,6453 a feast2282 of seven7651 days;3117 unleavened bread4682 shall be eaten.398
22 And upon that1931 day3117 shall the prince5387 prepare6213 for1157 himself and for1157 all3605 the people5971 of the land776 a bullock6499 for a sin offering.2403
23 And seven7651 days3117 of the feast2282 he shall prepare6213 a burnt offering5930 to the LORD,3068 seven7651 bullocks6499 and seven7651 rams352 without blemish8549 daily3117 the seven7651 days;3117 and a kid8163 of the goats5795 daily3117 for a sin offering.2403
24 And he shall prepare6213 a meat offering4503 of an ephah374 for a bullock,6499 and an ephah374 for a ram,352 and a hin1969 of oil8081 for an ephah.374
25 In the seventh7637 month, in the fifteenth2568 6240 day3117 of the month,2320 shall he do6213 the like428 in the feast2282 of the seven7651 days,3117 according to the sin offering,2403 according to the burnt offering,5930 and according to the meat offering,4503 and according to the oil.8081
1 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 The gate8179 of the inner6442 court2691 that looketh6437 toward the east6921 shall be1961 shut5462 the six8337 working4639 days;3117 but on the sabbath3117 7676 it shall be opened,6605 and in the day3117 of the new moon2320 it shall be opened.6605
2 And the prince5387 shall enter935 by the way1870 of the porch197 of that gate8179 without,4480 2351 and shall stand5975 by5921 the post4201 of the gate,8179 and the priests3548 shall prepare6213 853 his burnt offering5930 and his peace offerings,8002 and he shall worship7812 at5921 the threshold4670 of the gate:8179 then he shall go forth;3318 but the gate8179 shall not3808 be shut5462 until5704 the evening.6153
3 Likewise the people5971 of the land776 shall worship7812 at the door6607 of this1931 gate8179 before6440 the LORD3068 in the sabbaths7676 and in the new moons.2320
4 And the burnt offering5930 that834 the prince5387 shall offer7126 unto the LORD3068 in the sabbath7676 day3117 shall be six8337 lambs3532 without blemish,8549 and a ram352 without blemish.8549
5 And the meat offering4503 shall be an ephah374 for a ram,352 and the meat offering4503 for the lambs3532 as he shall be able to give,4991 3027 and a hin1969 of oil8081 to an ephah.374
6 And in the day3117 of the new moon2320 it shall be a young1121 1241 bullock6499 without blemish,8549 and six8337 lambs,3532 and a ram:352 they shall be1961 without blemish.8549
7 And he shall prepare6213 a meat offering,4503 an ephah374 for a bullock,6499 and an ephah374 for a ram,352 and for the lambs3532 according as834 his hand3027 shall attain5381 unto, and a hin1969 of oil8081 to an ephah.374
8 And when the prince5387 shall enter,935 he shall go in935 by the way1870 of the porch197 of that gate,8179 and he shall go forth3318 by the way1870 thereof.
9 But when the people5971 of the land776 shall come935 before6440 the LORD3068 in the solemn feasts,4150 he that entereth in935 by the way1870 of the north6828 gate8179 to worship7812 shall go out3318 by the way1870 of the south5045 gate;8179 and he that entereth935 by the way1870 of the south5045 gate8179 shall go forth3318 by the way1870 of the north6828 gate:8179 he shall not3808 return7725 by the way1870 of the gate8179 whereby834 he came in,935 but3588 shall go forth3318 over against5227 it.
10 And the prince5387 in the midst8432 of them, when they go in,935 shall go in;935 and when they go forth,3318 shall go forth.3318
11 And in the feasts2282 and in the solemnities4150 the meat offering4503 shall be1961 an ephah374 to a bullock,6499 and an ephah374 to a ram,352 and to the lambs3532 as he is able to give,4991 3027 and a hin1969 of oil8081 to an ephah.374
12 Now when3588 the prince5387 shall prepare6213 a voluntary5071 burnt offering5930 or176 peace offerings8002 voluntarily5071 unto the LORD,3068 one shall then open6605 him 853 the gate8179 that looketh6437 toward the east,6921 and he shall prepare6213 853 his burnt offering5930 and his peace offerings,8002 as834 he did6213 on the sabbath7676 day:3117 then he shall go forth;3318 and after310 his going forth3318 one shall shut5462 853 the gate.8179
13 Thou shalt daily3117 prepare6213 a burnt offering5930 unto the LORD3068 of a lamb3532 of the first1121 year8141 without blemish:8549 thou shalt prepare6213 it every morning.1242 1242
14 And thou shalt prepare6213 a meat offering4503 for5921 it every morning,1242 1242 the sixth part8345 of an ephah,374 and the third part7992 of a hin1969 of oil,8081 to temper7450 853 with the fine flour;5560 a meat offering4503 continually8548 by a perpetual5769 ordinance2708 unto the LORD.3068
15 Thus shall they prepare6213 853 the lamb,3532 and the meat offering,4503 and the oil,8081 every morning1242 1242 for a continual8548 burnt offering.5930
16 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 If3588 the prince5387 give5414 a gift4979 unto any376 of his sons,4480 1121 the inheritance5159 thereof shall be1961 his sons';1121 it1931 shall be their possession272 by inheritance.5159
17 But if3588 he give5414 a gift4979 of his inheritance4480 5159 to one259 of his servants,4480 5650 then it shall be1961 his to5704 the year8141 of liberty;1865 after it shall return7725 to the prince:5387 but389 his inheritance5159 shall be1961 his sons'1121 for them.
18 Moreover the prince5387 shall not3808 take of the people's inheritance by oppression,3947 5971 4480 5159 to thrust them out3238 of their possession;4480 272 but he shall give 853 his sons1121 inheritance5157 out of his own possession:4480 272 that4616 834 my people5971 be not3808 scattered6327 every man376 from his possession.4480 272
19 After he brought935 me through the entry,3996 which834 was at5921 the side3802 of the gate,8179 into413 the holy6944 chambers3957 of413 the priests,3548 which looked6437 toward the north:6828 and, behold,2009 there8033 was a place4725 on the two sides3411 westward.3220
20 Then said559 he unto413 me, This2088 is the place4725 where834 8033 the priests3548 shall boil1310 853 the trespass offering817 and the sin offering,2403 where834 they shall bake644 the meat offering;4503 that they bear them not out3318 1115 into413 the utter2435 court,2691 to sanctify6942 853 the people.5971
21 Then he brought me forth3318 into413 the utter2435 court,2691 and caused me to pass5674 by413 the four702 corners4740 of the court;2691 and, behold,2009 in every corner of the court4740 2691 2691 4740 2691 there was a court.2691
22 In the four702 corners4740 of the court2691 there were courts2691 joined7000 of forty705 cubits long753 and thirty7970 broad:7341 these four702 corners7106 were of one259 measure.4060
23 And there was a row2905 of building round about5439 in them, round about5439 them four,702 and it was made6213 with boiling places4018 under4480 8478 the rows2918 round about.5439
24 Then said559 he unto413 me, These428 are the places1004 of them that boil,1310 where834 8033 the ministers8334 of the house1004 shall boil1310 853 the sacrifice2077 of the people.5971
1 Afterward he brought me again7725 unto413 the door6607 of the house;1004 and, behold,2009 waters4325 issued out3318 from under4480 8478 the threshold4670 of the house1004 eastward:6921 for3588 the forefront6440 of the house1004 stood toward the east,6921 and the waters4325 came down3381 from under4480 8478 from the right side4480 3802 3233 of the house,1004 at the south4480 5045 side of the altar.4196
2 Then brought he me out3318 of the way1870 of the gate8179 northward,6828 and led me about5437 the way1870 without2351 unto413 the utter2351 gate8179 by the way1870 that looketh6437 eastward;6921 and, behold,2009 there ran out6379 waters4325 on4480 the right3233 side.3802
3 And when the man376 that had the line6957 in his hand3027 went forth3318 eastward,6921 he measured4058 a thousand505 cubits,520 and he brought5674 me through the waters;4325 the waters4325 were to the ankles.657
4 Again he measured4058 a thousand,505 and brought5674 me through the waters;4325 the waters4325 were to the knees.1290 Again he measured4058 a thousand,505 and brought me through; the waters4325 were to the loins.4975
5 Afterward he measured4058 a thousand;505 and it was a river5158 that834 I could3201 not3808 pass over:5674 for3588 the waters4325 were risen,1342 waters4325 to swim in,7813 a river5158 that834 could not3808 be passed over.5674
6 And he said559 unto413 me, Son1121 of man,120 hast thou seen7200 this? Then he brought1980 me, and caused me to return7725 to the brink8193 of the river.5158
7 Now when I had returned,7725 behold,2009 at413 the bank8193 of the river5158 were very3966 many7227 trees6086 on the one side4480 2088 and on the other.4480 2088
8 Then said559 he unto413 me, These428 waters4325 issue out3318 toward413 the east6930 country,1552 and go down3381 into5921 the desert,6160 and go into935 the sea:3220 which being brought forth3318 into413 the sea,3220 the waters4325 shall be healed.7495
9 And it shall come to pass,1961 that every3605 thing5315 that liveth,2416 which834 moveth,8317 whithersoever413 3605 834 8033 the rivers5158 shall come,935 shall live:2421 and there shall be1961 a very3966 great7227 multitude of fish,1710 because3588 these428 waters4325 shall come935 thither:8033 for they shall be healed;7495 and every thing3605 shall live2416 whither834 8033 the river5158 cometh.935
10 And it shall come to pass,1961 that the fishers1728 shall stand5975 upon5921 it from En-gedi4480 5872 even unto5704 Eneglaim;5882 they shall be1961 a place to spread forth4894 nets;2764 their fish1710 shall be1961 according to their kinds,4327 as the fish1710 of the great1419 sea,3220 exceeding3966 many.7227
11 But the miry places1207 thereof and the marshes1360 thereof shall not3808 be healed;7495 they shall be given5414 to salt.4417
12 And by5921 the river5158 upon5921 the bank8193 thereof, on this side4480 2088 and on that side,4480 2088 shall grow5927 all3605 trees6086 for meat,3978 whose leaf5929 shall not3808 fade,5034 neither3808 shall the fruit6529 thereof be consumed:8552 it shall bring forth new fruit1069 according to his months,2320 because3588 their waters4325 they1992 issued out3318 of4480 the sanctuary:4720 and the fruit6529 thereof shall be1961 for meat,3978 and the leaf5929 thereof for medicine.8644
13 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 This1454 shall be the border,1366 whereby834 ye shall inherit5157 853 the land776 according to the twelve8147 6240 tribes7626 of Israel:3478 Joseph3130 shall have two portions.2256
14 And ye shall inherit5157 it, one376 as well as another:251 concerning the which834 I lifted up5375 853 mine hand3027 to give5414 it unto your fathers:1 and this2063 land776 shall fall5307 unto you for inheritance.5159
15 And this2088 shall be the border1366 of the land776 toward the north6828 side,6285 from4480 the great1419 sea,3220 the way1870 of Hethlon,2855 as men go935 to Zedad;6657
